I overheard someone talking about it today at Devils bridge, however they did not seem to have the full details. I gave Hartside a miss today and just shot up and down the Shap road to Pooley Bridge. There was a fatality just outside Hawes on Saturday at about 12 noon and the road was closed for the rest of the day. I was told that it was an head on between 2 bikes and that 2 were heading one way "going hell for leather racing each other" were the words used and one ran wide into an oncoming rider minding his own business. Was the same bend that an aquaintaince of mine was killed on almost exactly 2 years ago to the day.
I don't know what it is about this time of year but all the bad accidents seem to happen in late summer?
