Agreed, its difficult to ride fast, the corners a sharp and although its not that steep it does catch people out. Up until a while ago the road surface was also appalling, but its a lot better now.

Its easy to run out of road or end up in the hedge and I've seen plenty of cars in that position or being recovered onto a recovery truck.

Theres plenty of better roads in that kinda area as I suspect the OP knows all to well.

+1...... i believed all the hype and was let down when i finally went there. The road after as you go up over the hills is much better IMO
