  • Rufford Mill Ford Update - What's Happened At The Ford Now
    Today I had a quick walk down to Rufford Mill Ford to see what it's like now, and to be honest it was really strange to see it so quiet. But it's still a nice place to visit if you like the countryside.
    Please enjoy the video

    “Only spoilt by concrete blocks.” What about the antisocial nature of the drivers thinking that writing off their cars while causing a public nuisance is a weekend out? It baffles me to think how they could do it for a pastime.

    Once CZcamsrs like you turned up, the situation quickly spiraled out of control. Cars have always driven too fast there or tried to go through when it was too deep. The difference was that once the videos started to hit the Internet, more and more people started turning up. Drivers were encouraged to take ever greater risks to get themselves on CZcams. You were just as much a part of the problem as all the others. You may have arrived late to the party but you share the blame. You even used a pole to get your camera right in front of the cars.
    It's no surprise that the council put a traffic order in place to close the road. Or that the police were there until the barriers went up. The way some drivers (not just the white Seat or the Blue Land Rover) went through the ford, it was only a matter of time before someone was seriously hurt or killed. Then you'd have been the first to moan that nobody had done anything.
    The road was closed to stop the increasing number of dangerous drivers before someone died. Looking for someone to blame? Try a mirror.

Then it turned into antisocial numpties with no skills and vehicles adapted to driving through water that ruined it. It was fun at the beginning but as soon as the idiots started trying to go through it at speed that's when it started going wrong. Everyone who's had success through filming the ford has contributed to it, I'm having a go at PJ because it's his channel I'm on.

    The ford has been closed mainly due to a whole load of idiots who think driving through deep water as fast as they can, all too often damaging/destroying their vehicles in the process, is a good idea and/or entertaining. You say 2 police in a car with the engine running is OTT but how much fuel, disturbance and environmental damage was caused by all the morons who insisted on playing up to the crowds egging them on and hoping for a disaster to unfold for their cameras? I reckon if the road outside your home suddenly became blighted by crowds and morons in cars racing around on a regular basis destroying your peace and quiet you'd want something done about it PDQ.

      My guess is they will build high concrete chicanes, to narrow the road or make it impossible to drive through fast. A bridge may be too costly but either way the days of the old Rufford Ford will (has) certainly come to an end as few people will visit to watch a car slowly drive over a bridge or navigate around a concrete chicane. Any bridge would probably have to comply with various council legal requirements, which would probably rule out anything temporary (or cheap!).

    Fair enough some people will prefer it to be closed, but the local businesses (Mill / cafe etc.) must have capitalised to a large degree. It was perhaps inevitable, but people should see the connection between the road being closed and there being less people about. Sherlock Holmes is not required to work this one out.

      Well I live near there makes no difference it’s the wildlife that will struggle now with people not going to visit and feed them. So before u speak for the people who live in the area make sure your opinions correct. I’m not happy the already busy A617 crowded now during rush hour will be affected as well as the wildlife and other surrounding areas. Other businesses are now affected as people won’t stop off either side. Wellow and bilsthorpe now having to drive the long way around. Very inconvenient and that cafe is only a decent addition to the area. I guess it’s fine for people to now have a further 20 minutes drive around and affect an already congested and dangerous road. Will they close that if accidents occur there as well.

I know the village is affected but would be nice to ask the villages next to it if they approve of the closure. Only a few recent accidents in the time I’ve lived here as well. I notice the road isn’t closed where a serious accident happened years back and the road wasn’t closed at all back then.
