Trip Report: a desert rat gets drenched

Is this the new Runcorn system? I will make sure I avoid it at all costs!

 

Yes. It's better to avoid it and drive miles further than pay the £1.80 fee.

 

Because I can be on the M53 or through either the Queensgate or Kingsgate tunnels in just a matter of minutes, it’s quite unlikely that I will ever find myself in a position where I would really need to use it, thankfully! Also because of my health problems, I find things like this disproportionately stressful, anyway.

 

For a moment I wondered how we had suddenly got to Cardiff Bay! (They are QueensWAY and KingsWAY).

 

Of course! Now you say it, I remember! Can you tell that I’m new to the area?

 

Erm, yes!

 

I tend to just refer to them as the Birkenhead tunnel and the Wallasey tunnel, and only really ever use them very occasionally.
