After spending far to much time on wet roads, I was wondering is anyone here has been to Tidmington ford on the warwickshire Gloucs border?

Looks like to muddy fields to cross one either side of the ford through the river stour.

It is very Tempting but I'll wait until I have M/Ts on the Beast before I go through it. But I have driven across the Field to it!! Just as much fun as going through the Ford itself!!
