Oh janey, that's literally just around the corner from me, I cycle this road almost every day to work. Not sure if it's right to say, but that could've easily been me. Maybe I should do a Ghost Bike.

I drive that road regularly, I would not cycle or walk it. To busy , narrow and fast.

I'd cycle that road by times; it's only as fast as people choose to drive, which is often too fast. Thinking about it, I wouldn't walk it either. It was busier than usual last weekend with the bank holiday and historic re-enactment on in Duncannon. Quite a few cyclists out too.

RIP- thinking of her and her family, hope teenage girl will pull through
