Are you kidding? The Stanley Road has long been known for its dangers and has been the scene of hundreds of nasty accidents. Here's how it goes.
Prepare winding track.
Get estimate of Annual Rainfall, but assume you've been given MONTHLY stats.
Dig massive ditches 12 times the capacity needed either side of track.
Cover track surface with millions of rounded stones in lieu of ball-bearings.
Wait for unsuspecting Squaddie in SWB LR exceeding speed limit.
Army officer, "Do him for negligence!"
RAF Officer, "Nothing proven, Sir."
Army Officer, "Corporal!"
Corporal, "Yessir!"
Army Officer, "Is this your Land Rover?"
Corporal, "Yessir."
Army Officer, "Is it in the ditch?"
Corporal, "Yessir."
Army Officer, "Right, you're negligent!"
