Nasty accident on the Hope Road

Drove down it earlier and there was a car in its roof. Didn’t look good. Roads are still slippy, take care people.

Was up Penshaw Monument first thing this morning and hit some black ice when pulling onto the roundabout. Luckily I was just pulling away and nobody was around but if I'd been going any speed I would have been in a tree.
 
Mate of mine was regularly doing bike sessions on that bank couple year back , great lad but not the brightest
I know a lad who used to do hill reps up and down there…don’t like driving down there at certain times and have never ridden a bike along there
 
Depends which way you go; there's only two bad bends on it, but for it formally to be 60 at any time in the past was a bit bonkers.

Remember while learning to drive suggesting down there that I should “put my foot down“ as it was 50/60 limit :lol:
 
Walked home from the town at daft o'clock on a Sunday morning along it a few times in my youth. I'd be having a word with myself these days for doing it.
