I wonder if the mud on the brigde is just from years of rotting leaves or if it was put there.

70 years of rotting leaves, and tractors crossing it.

It doesn't, I doubt if even the public road was metalled when this house was active.

I can picture some good times skidding in the mud and driving right over the unwalled bridge here!! :-)

I was thinking about driving up this road in the Clio, but then I imagined asking a shotgun-wielding incest-raged farmer if he could tow us out the HUGE ruts with his tractor.

Ha!! Prolly best!!
Once, at HartWood, Agent-X, SisterBlue and I took a perfectly good courtesy car (Corsa 1.0) and rallied it up and down the asylum farm road (closed for years) - what a giggle. We brought the rally to a close though when the car bounced on a rut and cracked Agent-X's head off the ceiling.
Oops!
Would never do anything like that with my OWN car though!! :-))

I think that kind of treatment is just what a Corsa deserves, but that's just my opinion.
I treat my car like that - hasn't broken yet though, what a triumph of British engineering!

The newer Corsa isn't too bad - I had the 1.3cTDi for a year and that wee thing could fucking shift... at 55MPG too!! :-D
Handled like a go-cart !

I've driven a recent one (03) and was unimpressed - do go-carts have slack steering and roly-poly handling?

Nah, but neither did my Corsa.
Perhaps the addition of a very heavy and very very tourqy diesel engine made some odds?? Given the suspension up front is rather different and uprated to carry the additional weight in comparison to the petrol models...
The 1.3cDTi rode, handled and generally did everything way better than the 1.0's I'd driven before, anyways!
Plastic trim around the wheel arches would fall off when driving through puddles though, that DID piss me off! Not the type of car I'd want to keep for more than a couple of years maybe...
Total closure was cool - put the key in the lock and hold it to the left - windows and sunroof close and car locks. The rear windscreen wiper would engage when it was raining and you put the car in reverse too...
These are the wee touches I miss!

I really like the bridge. With all this muddy feeling it makes it interesting.
