Dist:0.4km<br/>The stile that is holding this walk up is in a photo on the next square to the east. It was a charity walk and the farmer as usual hadn't cleared the path. Single file restricted conversation too. The land is owned by the highway authority and tenanted.

Dist:1.0km<br/>The southern end of the M1's original section between today's junctions 5 and 18, dating from November 1959. Although not the first UK motorway (the M6 Preston bypass was earlier), this was the first long-distance section and the first to be built from the start with three lanes in each direction. Though much changed since its inception, the M1 remains a talisman for Britain of the 1960s. It would take another 50 years before the UK's motorway was substantially complete. The UK has never caught up with the great motorway building programmes of France and Germany, to the economy's disadvantage.
