    There are 2 huge holes and many others along this stretch of road. I have hit 2 of these holes 4 weeks apart and blown the tyre and damaged the wheel. Someone passed me while I was taking photos and they hit the next pothole and blew their tyre. One more person did the same the next morning and 2 people the following evening! They are impossible to avoid when there is oncoming traffic and it is particularly dangerous in the dark.
