Just treat it as a series of mini-roundabouts - oh, and try and avoid rush hour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 19, 2000 Report Share Posted September 19, 2000 Been round it several times, - all of them intentional I might add. It is a nightmare, until you get used to it. My cousins who live there don't bat an eyelid and have hysterics of a different sort than mine when I approach it.

And I thought it was on the topic of software for kids! I suppose if you look at it simply, it is clockwise around the perimeter anti-clockwise around the hub and spot the mini roundabout!!! the amused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 19, 2000 Report Share Posted September 19, 2000 Yes same as the Hemel one - except the Hemel one has 6 mini roundabouts (didn't you used to live/work in Hemel or am I misremembering a Chat conversation?). Honest it's really straightforward, believe me. >It's in Swindon (don't think that's near Hemel -is it?) and is 5 mini >roundabouts in a circle round one big roundabout. > >I have never seen anything like it - and hope I never will !!!

Yes I used to work in Hemel about 7 years ago but very rarely drove and certainly don't remember anything like that! Would it have been on the road from Hemel to Wing?. I used to work in the Halifax Service Centre which was on a road up a hill near the NCP carpark and tesco's (I think). - trying to believe you!

I've driven it - and even more frighteningly been in the car when my dad did. I learnt to drive in the country too - and the double roundabout at Portstewart was frightening then!
