Unfortunately the surface of this road is getting pretty bad

It certainly is an interesting road, and best of all its less than 5 mins from my front door. Turn left from the drive, and I can be there in less time than takes to hard boil an egg.

Well well well. I thought you were in Blandford. How close to the road are you? I'm not inviting myself around or anything.

I often come though that way just for a change, off 303, Gillingham, Shaftesbury, Zig Zag, can't remember all the names of villages, Sixpenny Handley, Tollard Royal.

I am right on the edge of Blandford, just off what is known locally as the "High Road". I would turn left from here, head off towards Melbury Abbas and access zig zag hill from just the other side of Melbury. Or I could go up through Compton Abbas airfield. Assuming I am thinking of the same zig zag hill.
