Northern Exile Oct 2023 1:04pm, 30 Oct 2023 9,845 posts	0 Northern Exile I went over Dibbles a couple of days back and even after all these years it still gives me the shivers. It claimed the life of a friend a couple of years back, I thought we all deserve to know the perils. en.wikipedia.org

I didn’t know about the coach crash but remember some more recent accidents. There are big warning signs but really they need to change the layout.
Dave W Oct 2023 2:17pm, 30 Oct 2023 14,841 posts	0 Dave W I only live about five miles from there. I’ve been here for about eleven years and I have never cycled down that hill towards Dibbles Bridge. Pretty sure I never will. Always choose my route to avoid it. But someone crashed and was killed cycling down Greenhow towards Pateley a couple of years ago. Some dodgy descents round here.

More of a work mate than a close friend, he was decent guy.
