Definitely a case for breathing out before you venture.

Great shots, we hired a camper van years ago and went down some countrylanes. it wasw scaping on the hedge growth on both sides! A few miles on we came across a hedge trimmer in action! Gees there were stone walls under all that greenery!

At one point we came to sharp right angle bends in the lane, there was a small parking spot and a sign that said Stop, toot your horn! If no reply continue on! :)

Have a great time.

My great great rellies had the Peacock Inn in Molland!

Cheers John

Nice capture you got in the first pic.

NZ is renowned for single lane roads and bridges ... pretty freaky when you're focusing on the beautiful scenery and the road at the same time

Thanks for sharing these with us. It reminds me of our trip to the UK in 1993. It scared me how narrow the lanes were, and amused me how at times we were driving UNDER someone's bedroom, as occasionally extensions had been built out over the street.
We deliberatly kept to the rural areas, and there were lots of lanes just like in your pics- Wayne got very good at reversing.
