 A217 , do they have a clue ?? - helicopter
Road closures can be a real PITA even when you know all the back doubles..

Two years ago ,returning late from Croydon to Horsham , a journey of 31 miles which normally would take us around 40 minutes on M23 and A264 at that time of night we found M23 closed southbound.

No problem, we divert onto M25 at J7 and head to J8 A217 only to find the road closed both ways for roadworks in the centre of Reigate.

No problem, having lived there , we knew the little single track road running round the back of the park that would take us onto country lanes we knew well down to Horsham...except every other car trying to avoid the roadworks were trying to use the same road and we were stuck for a good half hour as cars tried to negotiate past each other..

Finally managed to get past Reigate and headed down the lanes throgh Leigh towards Newdigate..when we were faced with a diversion due to an accident in Newdigate..the diversion took us nearly into Dorking before we could go south again.

Three diversions / closures in a 30 mile journey meant 40 minute journey took nearly 2 1/2 hours.

Anybody had more diversions on a 30 mile journey ?
