This is a route many locals use to avoid the crush on the Greyhound Bridge over the Lune. Don't try to get a twin wheeled Transit type van that way or you will have to perform a very embarrassing reversing manoeuvre back across the bridge

I once got stuck there for nearly an hour once, when a bloke decided to come the other way when I was 2/3 of the way across. then he got out of his car, locked it and walked off!
Had to wait for the police and everything!
Turned out he didn't think it was fair that he had to wait!!!
A bike should be no problem, but I would think you could get through the traffic ok anyway, I was thinking more of race teams/vans/campers and that.

There ain't half some odd folk about!

There is always the Crook o' lune route too.

I followed a twin wheeled Transit down the lane and he went across the bridge. I stayed at the old station side because I knew he would be coming back. Some of the cars behind me started pipping and then went onto the bridge with unfriendly gestures as they passed me. There was nowhere for them to go when they reversed back and I just sat, shook my head and smiled.
