I've driven that road all my driving life. Going one way you've got traffic turning into the gliding club (that's the entrance just near the van). This traffic is often 4x4's pulling glider trailers and they make a meal of turning into the entrance, which forces dodery old sods to swerve out into the path of people who're making an early dash for the dual carriageway.
Going the other way, (the way the car is going on the left)you've got one of the shortest stretches of dual carriageway known to man which only enables you to get past one, maybe two cars at the most if you're in another car. Not much better on a bike because you're coming over a blind crest in the middle of the dualled bit and into a tightening radius right hander, then the dual cariageway runs out. So you get people committed to making the pass and making some desperate overtakes to get by before the road runs out - just in time for a tractor or something to pull out of the turning on the left. It's a nightmare. |
True! point of picture taken is at brow of said hill and about half way along the carriageway!
