I'm sure it could be better for all kinds of reasons, but as anyone familiar with that neck of the woods knows all too well, its really windy and not easy to get a long exposure. The fact that the arrows on the carriageway are fairly sharp is a bit of a miracle in the circumstances.

 

One of my worst all time experiences on a motorcycle was on this stretch of road in very windy conditions and it was 9 months before I rode a bike again.

 

I had an almost as traumatic experience whilst I was taking this but I'm not going to elaborate...
