Today, whilst out on a pleasure drive over Dukes Pass (no fun at all - snow on the road) and back via Tarbett and Loch Lomondside, there was a police roadblock just outside Tarbett. After wondering what was going on for a few minutes, I see a yellow helicopter come in and land on the road (I assume the road - my view was partially obscured). Then I realised it must have been an accident, and quite a nasty one judging by the amount of police cars there.

Hopefully no-one was killed, but it brought home what a dangerous road it is, really. One I'm sure we all drive regularly, and we've no doubt seen some of the overtaking maneuvers some people like to perform there. No real point to this post! Just how my little pleasure drive went from fun, to intregue, then poignancy really. Drive safe! smile
