View in the direction of High Wycombe and London, on the first day of April. Further up the hill the carriageway is divided into three lanes, one down, two up (one being a 'crawler' lane, so that heavy vehicles don't impede faster traffic). It has to be said that - as such things go - this is rather a fine stretch of road, merging into the landscape in a way that its successor, the M40, fails to do.
