Andy's Driving videos around Derbyshire, UK :
Are you an ex-pat of Derbyshire, feeling homesick? Or perhaps you just want a clear way of giving someone directions to a location in Derbyshire or just want to show people your village. Well in this video and the many others I have made, you will be able to take a virtual drive around the streets as though you were in the driving seat. I use a dash-mounted camera, Traffic lights and heavy traffic have been edited out.

Thank you so much! I lived in Melbourne 2003 - 2007 on Thomas Cook Close, in one of the old houses on the corner.
This brought back amazing memories, I'm not ashamed - I shed tears at the memories of this place brought back by your video and music. I'm now in San Francisco, but loving every second - it's just so very, very different. I miss the pubs, the bakery, the newsagents, the spar, the library, the doctors right nearby. Oh wait, that's pretty much everything!!!

Nice to see this because I live in Beijing now. You drove by my parents' home on Spinney Hill.
