00:00 I'm in Lower Stone, the easternmost point of England. There should be a plaque there, but someone's taken the plaque.
00:19 So at the moment I'm pretty sure I'm on a B road now. It's a fairly decent one. Starting to head out of Lower Ston.
00:34 Well, I mean I'm out of Lower Ston, but I'm now heading in completely the wrong direction.
00:46 So this could be a slight issue on this journey due to all the rain that we've had.
00:52 It's flooding. Fortunately, Cookie is pretty good ride height.
01:02 That's Leaston Abbey.
01:06 We're definitely moving away from the coast now.
01:12 So I have a feeling I might be on the outskirts of Ipswich.
01:32 It's fair to say the weather's taken a turn for the worse. Cookie is leaking slightly.
01:42 I was hoping to go to the rail freight terminal, but that's not going to happen.
01:50 Sort of in the realms of South Northamptonshire.
02:00 I wonder what that is up ahead.
02:04 Both sides of the bridge now. How deep is that?
02:13 Well this guy's going through. That's pretty deep.
02:24 I'll have to find another way through.
02:37 [engine noise]
03:00 As you can probably tell by my hands, slight mechanical issues.
03:07 I thought there was something wrong with the brakes and I've discovered this morning that you won't be able to see it,
03:14 but down there the left side caliper I think has basically seized on.
03:24 Car park for John Lewis. I'm getting some quite funny looks.
03:33 Just slightly touching the brake when I entered the multi-storey, it's then pushed the caliper back in.
03:40 So I've been struggling for the past 20 minutes or so to get the caliper back.
03:46 It's now almost back, so hopefully I can get the pads in. I have got some spare pads.
03:56 Well, if there is a ferry, it doesn't seem to be doing much. I guess it can't.
04:10 Anyway, this is Shooksbury. I've just gone past Shooksbury Abbey.
04:16 Presumably that's the River Wye. Yeah, I mean, pretty badly flooded.
04:37 Oh, there's a bridge.
04:40 Well, I think, I mean this is feeling quite promising.
04:49 It's definitely a B road. I'm going in the right direction.
04:54 You know, there wouldn't be a road like this unless it actually went into Wales.
05:03 I would think it would probably have been an older road that goes into Wales before they built Ye whatever.
