I think it happened on the link from Crystal peaks to coisley hill,drove down that way this morning and as you get near roundabout on the chevrons there was a massive patch of Sandy stuff,the type they use to soak fuel spills up..

The section pictured is 1 lane each way, and very wide at that point. By the nature reserve between Coisley Hill roundabout and Crystal Peaks roundabout.
