Traffic agency update zig zag hill near shaftesbury is closed for 3 weeks for major repairs as its been cut up badly over winter.... Some smooth tarmac would be nice

Thanks, was heading that way tomorrow and onto the drove

Just had a check and the B3081
Including Zigzag hill will be closed from Monday the 20/5 until the 31/5 for resurfacing.
So you should be okay tomorrow

If is resurfacing hope it's not a squirt and gravel type as that will be really dodgy.

Thanks for that, I can get a few more scrapes and digs in the road before repairs

"cut up badly over winter" Ferchrissakes, I came down it for the first time ever last October (known about if for years) when my Lad and I were in Dorset for a few days. It was like a bloody MX track then!!

I shudder to think what it looked like just now!!

I must have gotten used to the state of the roads here then. I went down it a couple of weeks ago and thought it was normal service.

Up it today, it wasn’t too bad to be fair

Up is always better tgan down as so e of those bends are real tight off camber....great on a supermoto

Came up it today, same old sh*te surface, well overdue a resurface
