Cross Hills to Colne, An Early Morning Drive Through a Rural Setting.

2 Dashcam videos I have recently uploaded to YouTube featuring a trip along the A6028 from the Level Crossing at Cross Hills, West Yorkshire to the outskirts of Colne, Lancashire. Video 1 is a short real time video which shows the journey through Cross Hills village. Video 2 is a timelapse x4 video of the full journey from the level crossing to Colne passing through Glusburn, Cowling and Laneshawbridge. The dawn was just breaking behind the wagon so whilst the video starts in near darkness the early morning light is breaking through by it's end.

They were filmed on my dashcam on Friday 29th November 2019.
