Sat Nav Taken Me To a Dead End | Vlog 245 

I love your calmness in all situations 😁👏

Bro you got the perfect temperament for driving, always chilled, never rush, take it slow where needed, when i used 2 get stressed and i did on many occassions, id start humming that song, nice n' easy does it, nice n' easy does it, driving into a dead end done that as well having to reverse all the way back, your a credit to the profession mate, keep up the good work and stay safe 👍

Another lovely video to Yorkshire. The little hump bridge was Stamford Bridge where a battle took place in 1066, When the English King Harold was successful . The view from the top of the hill, which is called Garrowby Hill is breathtaking, you can see right across the vale of York to the Dales. It would be a nice place to go with your Caravan.

Hello Darren, that’s funny the 9 1/2 mph. It reminded me of when I went to Las Vegas with my brother. He drives a truck and in their yard it says 4 1/2 miles an hour in yard. I thought that was kind of silly but anyways buddy, be safe. Thank you for taking me along, you’re an awesome bloke peace, and God bless💯🙏🇺🇸🇬🇧

The strange speed limit is designed to catch people’s attention. Great video mate, really enjoyed the journey.

Great video as always, Have a great weekend with your family, Take care and best wishes Darren

Gotta be a class 1 drivers worst nightmare a dead end! You handled it perfectly and stayed calm, great driving! 👍

Great content as always Darren 👍👍

Thanks again Darren, Will

Not only an entertaining video, as per usual but still with those little tips for others, like snaking the trailer slightly to get a better view down each side. Have a great weekend Darren. P.S. As for strange speed limits, old depot at Sheffield has 11 mph limit. No idea why.

Hence why I prefer Garmin but nothing 💯 though is it. Great video as always

Top as always and always a great vlog

Great video as always! I recently became a certified light commercial vehicle driver since I became an Amazon delivery driver and I so can relate to the feeling about being lead to a dead end!

Great video mate, Enjoyed watching it! Thanks for taking us along! Fancy sat nav taking you down there but corrected yourself with ease 👌🏼 Made it look easy! .. Funny you should mention Caravans, Been talking to a lad at work last few days about them he has one in Anglesey and is always going with his kids, Said he’s saved a fortune by going there instead of abroad and the kids love it, Says it’s a different life down in Wales! They go Snorkeling and all sorts.. I would love one myself too, Get away for a weekend just relax. Some of the Lodges look mega! But some are also like 200k 😂 Did you end up buying the Caravan? Take care mate have a good weekend 🤙🏼

Love the content Darren, keep it up! On the subject of strange speed limits, there’s a garden centre near Milton Keynes that I sometimes deliver to with a speed limit of 4 3/4mph! 😅

I always take a bit more care on the road with the first bit of rain after a long dry period, really brings up all the crap that's been compacted into the road surface. It's nuts the amount of people who still bomb it round when it's that slippery 😬

Two things Darren: 1: 9 1/2 mph that's very specific and very silly. The owner must really math for the speed limit to be that specific. 2: The train that passed @ 18:01 is a Class 170 Turbostar for Northern Rail. The exact unit # I can't tell you for it's gone to fast and a weird angle. Those units aren't the newest. Those were being bought from ScotRail, rail transport company from Scotland. 3: Reminds of a time when they shut a side street at least three blocks to the bay and car and truck drivers would go down my street thinking they would be able to cut out the lights and met face to face with a dead end. Car drivers are fine. Truck drivers not so much. Then after Covid, they reopen it. Idk why they shut the last three blocks off but it sure made a hell of a mess.

The train going across the crossing was a Class 170 going from Scarborough to Sheffield

17:49 hey are you still recording Level Crossing Darren

Fwiw 9.5mi/h is about 15Km/h

Just wondering. I've been down a few times on the M62, going passed Leeds. I may be totally wrong, so forgive me on this, but if the M1(N) is bad to get on, would it be better to carry on past that junction, to the A1(N) turnoff. Not sure if there's a junction off the A1 to get on the A64 towards York, as I noticed the traffic was sailing past on the main M62 carriageway. I remember being stopped at a railway crossing in Northumberland, after visiting Seahouses, and boy, did we have a treat. It was a steam train, pulling carriages and full pelt. It was really going fast. Amazing sight to see. The reason why Bradford, Birmingham, London and other places, is that there's a lot of foreign drivers who live in this country, who do not know the Highway Code or anyone who don't want to know it. Talking about caravans. Me and my hubby started off camping with a frame tent, then onto trailer tents, then folding campers, and finished up with a caravan. Have done all the UK, and most of Europe. The furthest east has been Yugoslavia as it was back then, done West Germany, Holland, Belgium and France. France is probably the best for camping, every site has a swimming pool, and a restaurant/cafe, which are nearly always the best. My mainecoon cat, Timber, has been with us in the caravan all over the UK, but not quite made it to Scotland, although, as the crow flies, he was around 200 yards near to the border, at just outside Berwick-upon-Tweed. If you've never been camping/caravanning, go onto the Caravan Talk Forum. They are a font of information. I would suggest getting a damp reader, and check for damp. Too much, and its a no-no.

I use to love a map😂

Hi Darren, l really enjoy the blogs , but l was just wondering, have you Ever seen the What 3 words App , its would so you the exact ( give or take a few yards ) location of you drop off and pick ups , just a thought 👍
