I was taking the "Jelly Wrestlers" round for a lap in the car on Tuesday and we had just passed the 33rd with a group of motorcyclists riding front and back of us, when we noticed that our group was totally alone.

We stopped at Creg-ny-baa for coffees and were amazed that no one followed us down from Kates.
Very quickly a police motorcyclist arrived and closed the road from Creg to Kates..

We had our coffees and drove carefully down to Hillberry which was also shut in the "up" direction..

It was not until it was announced on radio later that we knew there had been a very big accident "just" behind us.

We had been the last group to get round !!

Some friends were stuck up on the mountain mile for about three hours.............

Van and motorcyclist I believe, rider +

Any idea what was the story behind this ???
