MAGIC ROADS

There is a hill in coolgreany in Wexford that you roll back up it.. Not down like you should.. Weird ..

There is one of those roads in Donegal on manmore gap. it’s the gravity that pulls the car back up.

Rick there’s a magic road near Newry, you park the car on it, take the handbrake off and it goes UP the hill. It’s true I’ve been there. Denise in Mayo
