Doh, i forgot that i was doing it against the flow of traffic when i was going fron limehouse to ipswich. It's amasing what a difference that makes. i did not mind filtering, i think that i got quite good at it
. Some days it got bloody cold and the A12 seems to go on forever. I used to think it was the uk's most boring journey, until I rode up to Cadwell (except the last bit)
