Ladies Mile (Bristol) 14 Aug 07

Avoid Ladies Mile for the moment; somebody's managed to roll a minibus on the corner blocking the entire road.

Genious that one.

How. on. earth?

or if its that excellent off camber corner at the bottom by the zoo, then I can see why, its ace for sliding around

Looks like he was heading down the hill and chucked it into that bend a bit hot, rolled it onto its side and slid to a halt wedged between both banks.

Thought about taking a quick pic on the 'phone (it's not every day you come around a blind bend to see the underside of a bus!) but decided that the BiB in attendance might have thought that was taking the mick a bit.

Probably, if he's anything like us, he was watching some fit totty with a wet t-shirt jogging up the hill, and completly forgot to brake.

Bloody dangerous them joggers

There was an upside to having to turn around and drive across the Downs again, I'll grant you that!

[pdV6]

Just to note that the bus has been carted off, in case anyone's still avoiding that road...

It was moved yesterday, the missus said it wasn't there when she went for a run last night.

Not sure if she was wearing a wet t-shirt.
