www.fillthathole.org.uk is a CTC initiative that's been running for quite a while. I've used it a lot reporting kerbside craters making life exciting when commuting to work. You know, when one looms and you've got a truck or bus on your elbow.
Now here's at last a sensible use for Howard's GarminGadgets! Any hole en-route can be plotted with utmost precision, and transmitted by on-bike computer for instant reporting via CTC to North YorksCC etc for filling.
Meanwhile until all holes on a 117km (Tan Hill) km radius from York are filled it seems good advice not to give ALL standing water on the road a wide berth. Or ride with max travel front shockers.
Oh, by the way, I've just bought the last-but-one heated SIDI cycling shoe insoles from Wiggles. Size 44, all others gone. But don't fight!
