Wet Roads: Fords

[Dee Duble Yuh]

This site is quite well known for providing information about fords around the UK. http://wetroads.co.uk

How about adding your own experiences of fords here?

[Dee Duble Yuh]

There are two fords in the pretty Cotswolds village of Duntisbourne Leer. To find the long one, follow the signs saying "Route not suitable for motors". The road runs along the ford! The driveway of one of the houses actually leads into the ford.

(And no, I didn't manage to stand up. The ford bottom is quite loose stones.)

Like Duntisbourne, there are two here. One is relatively easy (pictures below) but the other appears to be quite deep on one side, and the banks could be a bit tricky. I've ridden only the easy one. I think the other might be passable only with assistance. The page http://vamp.idlers.org/~jaffa/welshvalleys.htm suggests 4x4 only.
