Hot on the tail of the Pilgrimage of Grice, the Noble Lord has taken to exploring the motorway network.
Details of the Marple's Memorial Meander here.
It will be interesting to see whether, after fighting his way around the UK road network for a week, Lord Adonis has an appetite to divert more funds into roads to relieve congestion, or whether he argues even more strongly that the railways should be developed, to get people out of their cars.
Can he hold his nerve, or will he bottle it?
UPDATE: This from Tom over at Boriswatch...
It's interesting that Lord Adonis meets up with the Chairman of the RAC Foundation straight off the bat, who are the spiritual successor to the rabid interventionist road lobby of the 1960s to 1980s.
On the other hand it's highly amusing that said gentleman had to take to the train to avoid the M25 jams...
UPDATE: Captain Deltic in calculating mood asks...
Shouldn't we know what car Lord Adonis is driving?
And what miles per gallon it is achieving?
And what average speed he is assuming to get to these various meetings on time?
