Van blocking Talland to Looe lane - crashed due to ice 7 Jan 2010 slippy road - yes it was- Talland to Looe lane 7 Jan 2010
Talland's main access to the outside world blocked by van turned over due to ice - 7 Jan 2010 Police attending accident due to ice which blocked the Talland to Looe lane
Nothing ever happens in Talland Bay, but today it did:
Ice: Accident!
The lane from Talland to Looe was today completely blocked by a contractor's van which skidded and turned over en route to The Bay building site. The location was just below the highest point of the lane where the road surface was compacted snow which had turned to ice - an absolute skating rink difficult even to stand up on. The occupants of the van were lucky to escape without injury.The vehicle had begun to slide down the increasingly steep slope on its side but by good fortune it became wedged across the lane - and ironically, just next to a sign warning about a slippery surface (which predates the ice and refers to mud and broken tarmac surface). The lane is completely blocked and the police say that it will be tomorrow at the earliest before the van can be removed (and if the present extremely hazardous ice remains it could be longer).

There's nothing here really, except the sea and some small beaches and rock pools, and more skylarks than you can listen to with just one pair of ears. In fine summer weather it's idyllic, in winter storms it's raw and muddy. There's only the one road and that's a narrow single track lane and, of course, there's the South West Coast Path for walking. And that's why we like it!

It's rare to see even a single snowflake at Talland, but today we have some and the lane from Looe, being icy and very steep down into Talland, is pretty well impassable - Wed 6 Jan 2010
