That water has been running across the road for at least three months, possibly as many as six. It's on a tight bend, and you'd have thought something could have been done about it by now.

The attrition continues, very soon the bikers will put away their machines and all will be quiet until April next year.
The Dales and North Yorks roads have taken many bikers. Is it worth the risk?
