    Good morning,

    I am very sorry but I am unable to send a what.three.words without returning to the location which is about 25 minutes from my home and I am now avoiding the A361 in that area because of its condition and the damage it caused to my car. If you leave Charwelton in the direction of Byfield, the pot hole is shortly after the bridleway on the left hand side (see image attached). If you get to the layby with the farm gate then you have gone too far. I hope this is helpful, but please do let me know if you require anything further.
