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.
I can't imagine anyone running out of road, there was plenty of road for me, it just was not where I wanted it to be.

I remember that Mogs. I wondered where you were heading

alexh

I live 15 miles from ZIg ZAG and have riden it more times that i care to remember. Its good fun but not all that. However once you get over the top the roads are much better and you can have fun.

If you ever want to ride it and want some company send me a PM and I would love to join you. Wideboy is right, the food at compton abbas airfeild is pretty good.

It's true dude, he's been there a few times and it opens up to a nice but short stretch of road with high speed bends, take a right to the airport and halfway between that turn and the air field is where Viper got his avatar pic taken
