Road ConditionsRemote lanes with no passing places mean recovery vehicles sometimes need to reverse for hundreds of metres to reach a casualty vehicle.

WeatherHeavy rain in this area can cause flash flooding on low-lying roads, especially near river crossings and dips.

Seasonal TipFestival season: Large events nearby create congestion and parking on verges — both of which lead to recovery call-outs.
