Things have been going to hell in a handcart for a long time now. I only have to recall Strata Florida when I first drove it in 1995 to last years foray to see the decline.
That's why I love our foreign laning trips; far from the chav off roaders, gentle lanes, no damage to lane or truck, coffee and relaxation. The only challenges in the terrain caused by snow melt run off, not 40" mud monster tyres.
Roll on September 😊
