    Surely its this one

    Its the turn on the Old Youghal Road in Cork where the road up from the Glanmire Village meets the old Youghal Road, just East of the Barn Restaurant.

    Coming down the top road on the right, the road has the most off-camber bend in Ireland. I dunno how I don't hear of any accidents on this bit of road.

    There's a bend on Achill Island where I almost came a cropper last year in my motorhome.

    Sharp left hander and the camber is so bad, that the MH leans at about 20 degrees to the inside, you'd swear it's about to fall over. But at the apex of the bend you meet one of those old, narrow humpback bridges. Not only does the edge of the road pull in, the camber also disappers to nothing (your left front wheel effectively drives up a hump).

    So while the arse of your vehicle is still hanging at an angle, the front suddenly staightens out ....that produces interesting driving and steering dynamics, to say the least. (not to mention the creaking from the motorhome as its backbone gets severely twisted)
