Driving to the Top

I have not yet attempted driving this one tract country lane in the driver's seat, however, I have been in the passenger seat many times. I have finally developed a sense of direction for my new surroundings and once I have a vehicle again I am ready to "give this a go." I feel confident that I can handle driving on the main roads at this point, even though I had one very brief driving lesson. I have paid careful attention to the rules of the road, the flow of the traffic, the navigation of the roundabouts and I am eager to get back behind the wheel of a car. '



I have attempted to videotape the drive from the Heads of the Valleys road up through Station Road and onto Station Terrace. I am not sure if the steepness of the drive is conveyed through this tape, but the narrowness of the lane certainly is. Those of you in the states will appreciate it because it really is not like any "road" most of us drive on a regular basis. Pay careful attention the the sound of the beeping horn as the "S" curve is navigated.



Bear in mind that Mr. Sheppard, an experienced UK driver, is behind the wheel and I will not be driving half as fast, in the beginning.
