There is loads of excellent footage from this particular crossing - Rufford Ford on youtube. Lots of fails and plenty of LR action!

I live fairly close to this, the issue is its a bit of a hot spot for spectators who encourage people through Mr. Green

The road gets closed as soon as the levels raise but it doesn't seem to stop people... Sheep

That being said I used to cut through in the Defender and previous Range Rover as its a nice shortcut Whistle

Not a ford, but this remains one of my all-time favourite moron-plus-deep-water videos.
