Advanced Driving Hub

I do (or used to do) a lot of driving in France as we have a second hovel (which we haven't seen for nearly a year). It's in a network of minor roads in the Normandie bocage and it is very useful to have a co-pilot for the right-hand bends ....

Sunday mornings on the little roads of Vale of White Horse you can almost guarantee peletons of lycra puffing along, and the occasional horse or two.
