[GuyBoden]

Here's a map of possibly all of the fords in the country, you only need to click on correct ford on the map:

Expect that website's had more traffic than usual

Is it Warwickfordshire?

is this a trap, have you got some tracking on it so you can tell which dot I've clicked or looked at?

I will confirm it is on that map, which whilst a needle in a haystack in itself, together with other information you may have gleaned so far, or future clues could be quite useful.

That map is quite impressive. I thought of some obscure little fords that I know of, checked them, and they were all on the map.

Traitors Ford Lane

well done, and I presume good stalking of other threads...

on the border of Oxfordshire and Warwick(noford)shire for @Ming the Merciless benefit.

It was apparently featured in 3 men and a little lady - who know eh?

and this little gem from the wetroads site...

Account sent in by Graham Nelson:
'You might like to note that the Hook Norton parish council website has a cautionary tale of a local cyclist who whizzed through, thinking it a harmless splash, and is now in a wheelchair: apparently the surface underneath is, or can be, very slimy. I survived unscathed but I might have taken the side-ramp if I'd realised. Perhaps that is the treachery in the name.'

I slowed right down but rode though as did Nick, our respective OH's pushed bikes over the side ramp.

That's a cautionary tale indeed, I always get off my bike at nearby fords, yes, they are slimy, so slippy.

Here's a picture of the ford near my rides in Swettenham.

The ones that I looked for were too. The locations are not very accurate though... Example:

 

[Venod]

I seem to have lost the blue car.

A4212 Wales

 

[GuyBoden]

Over to you @Venod

Well done, I thought it would be found quickly, but not that quick.

I remembered your Wales epic ride, I thought it looked Wales or Lakes, so a quick scan of OS with lakes with a prominent hill on the right brought me to it.

I rode past this very spot last Saturday.

Name that road.

My middle one did that in the exact same spot a few years back. Then his younger brother went into the back of him!

We didn't have a film crew with us though.
