Thank you and it certainly would have been interesting

@@no_soy_rubio Thanks mate and no not this time. It was more to get some full lengthers done Aye same here although it would have been a stunning drive had it been built

Thank you

Thank you and I think it’s pretty quiet at first due to not being on a main route. Most traffic coming from Ramsey into Douglas goes via the mountain road as it’s quicker than using the A2 which goes through Laxey and a few other villages to reach Douglas.

Thanks mate ❤️

Thank you ☺️ It wouldn’t have been on the original plans but the later plans for the Eastern Bypass would have likely been that number as it would have linked up with the Port Tunnel. I can imagine had that happened the South East motorway bit would have then become M11 as it was supposed to be a radial route, luckily the junction numbers could be easily changed as well with 17, 16, 15 and 13/14 becoming 4, 3, 2 and 1 on the signs.

Yeah certainly different that’s for sure

Thanks mate, yeah it’s not too bad (although very different from the British version!) but given that Dublin is much smaller than London that’s probably why haha

Thank you very much 😁

Thank you, yeah a lot of the older Irish motorways have this. The newer or widened ones tend to just have the concrete barrier

@@no_soy_rubio Not the only video I got doing this either

There aren’t any showing it however the Manx government still class it as a B road. It is one of the shorter ones but not the shortest.

@@driving_all_over that's quite interesting actually

Certainly is and it isn’t unique either as there’s another one plus a couple of A roads that are have conflicting one way systems on them 😆

Thank you very much ☺️

Cheers mate, yeah I thought it was a bit of an odd name but it makes sense now. Hopefully I’ll get the A249 (and maybe the A2500) one done soon In fairness it seems most roads on Sheppey seem to have been the A250, it must be the island’s version of the A430 in Gloucester haha

Thank you ☺️

Thank you mate

Thank you, and yeah it’s a decent place to finish it

@@rubiocitywalks Thanks

Yeah they do ☺️ The elite racers only use the northbound carriageway but everyone else uses both carriageways then merge together at the Tyne Bridge

I was wondering that haha

​@@driving_all_overthat must be weird, especially as the A167(M) has the double deck section

Hi mate, thank you for watching. Yeah of course you can, no need to ask at all

Sorry it’s taken a while to upload it

P.s Nice to hear Tears for Fears, Every body wants to rule the world 12 inch version from 1985, I've got this record back in the day

Thank you very much for the comments, appreciate it And yeah it’s a great track ☺️

Thanks mate, sorry it’s a short one

Thank you and yeah it is a bit

Aye it’s a strange classification but can’t beat a bit of quirkiness like this sometimes

@@driving_all_over true

Haha unfortunately not 😂

Thank you very much ☺️

5 mate not 4 Just under 500 in total in the end so by far my biggest drive. Even getting up to Stranraer was my longest distance without stopping for a break.

@driving_all_over oh yeah all 5 haha mammoth effort mate good job

Thank you ❤️

Thank you for watching, appreciate it. Yeah it’s certainly a fast road and I’m assuming some of the junctions on it had lighting because of how dangerous they are. As I was staying in Belfast for a few days the plan for this drive was always to go as far as Dundalk just to say I’d driven south of the border but if I ever do something like that again I’ll definitely attempt to get down to Dublin 🙂

Thank you very much, I’d planned this a while back when I first started booking the trip as I wanted to see if it was possible to drive in all 5 of them in one day so was glad to complete it. I’ve got extended family in the north east of England so I’m used to being both a driver and passenger on trips like that. Regarding the two time stamps you mentioned, the first one was deliberate as I’d already decided to go as far as Dundalk once crossing the border. The second one however was more unfortunate as I’d gone through Lisburn due to M1 north being closed but hadn’t realised A512 was shut too so what looks like a doubling back on myself at that roundabout was actually me making a left turn albeit with a full circuit involved as well.

@@driving_all_over never the less it's still impressive that you did that I only have family as far as Birmingham

Thank you very much for watching and I’m glad you did ☺️ Aye overtaking lanes aside that road was probably the worst part of the whole drive

Thank you Yeah I’ll try to, think it’s just the way I cropped it

​@@driving_all_over I used to crop mine as well

Yeah it isn’t very consistent but they both mean the same thing I think

Thank you so much.

Thank you and hopefully I’ll get it done soon

Ah nice one mate

Thank you ☺️

Maybe one day!

I don’t think so but I’ll have to double check

Thanks mate

Thank you, and I’m not too sure. I’m guessing due to budget cuts but the troubles would have probably played a part in it as well

Thanks mate 👍

They were on hold the last time I heard. Hopefully it gets done soon

Thanks mate

Cheers mate, yeah unfortunately Irish weather is very similar to UK weather sometimes Yeah it’s certainly different
