Leeds Roads Are Crap

Sorry for those who think otherwise. Having spent nearly 2 hours driving around the various link roads, ring roads, and loops, I've come to the conclusion that Leeds is worse than Spaghetti Junction :-(

Simple enough objective, I wanted to get from the M1 onto the A660 and out to Bramhope. Looks easy enough on the map. But no, there's all these loops, city links, ring roads that don't seem to be :-(

First attempt somehow had me in Bradford, which was impressive as that's a completely different city. Second attempt had me heading back down to London, again, not where I wanted to be. In the end I decided to head out towards Hull, turn back at the first junction, and come in that way.

I'm here now, at last. Tent up, kids arriving, and, just to cheer me up, the sun is out :-D
