FRIDAY-Driving in Dartmoor

Jeri took on driving duties again today and did an awesome job. It's hard to remember to stay on the left side of the road in Dartmoor. The roads are so narrow in places that only one car can pass (and it's a tight squeeze at that). When you do see someone coming, your temptation, in your fear of crashing into them, is to veer right -- exactly the way you shouldn't go. It's a hard instinct to break.




I didn't think my picture here really captured just how narrow the stone walls and hedgerows make driving here. Click here to see some video of us making our way back from Widecombe-in-the-moor to Postbridge. What's amazing to me is the upkeep of these things. I wish I'd caught a picture of it, but they have machinery that drives along the side of the road and trims the sides and tops of the hedges as it goes. Smells really nice when they do it too.

Kudos to Jeri for getting us safely everywhere here!
