STATIONARY RTA

You don't even have to be moving on the Stanley Rd to come a cropper. A few years ago Mrs J_J and myself were following a Suzuki Jeep fro MPA to Stanley. Road was open but marginal. On the way the wind became so severe that the Suzuki driver stopped, we pulled up behind in our Disco. We then watched in disbelief as the 'Jeep' was blown sideways across the 'marbles' until it reached the edge of the road and then rolled onto it's side in the ditch. Fortunately we were able to rescue the (fortunately uninjured) occupants and complete the journey. Definitely not a road to be complacent of.
