Twoflags   10 #1009 Posted June 25, 2007 I'm about to set off home from leeds. I come off at J36 and head down penistone Road up to Crookes, turning right at Pizza Hut at Owlerton.  Anyone know whether this route is OK?  Cheers in advance.   No, took me two hours to get from bottom of rutland road, I had to go out to Oughtibridge then over the top of Grenoside.

Twoflags   10 #1012 Posted June 25, 2007 Sorry, sweetie, I don't know the area, but it sounds like her only option is Shanks' Pony. Public Transport is hammered.  She'll be fine plenty of tea and grub in the station, it's car I'm worrying about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

shortcrust   10 #1015 Posted June 25, 2007 There's just been an appeal for people not to ring emergency services unless life is in danger, so probably don't call "if in doubt".... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

No, definitely not!  There's a shot of that precise junction on this page - camera 15: http://www.magicrambo.com/pages/shefwebcam.htm  Penistone Road is closed and that junction is mostly under water...  Edit: Your best route may be down Oughtibridge Lane, as Leppings Lane may well be impassable - does anyone know the situation down there?
