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.

Thanks for that. I enjoyed your trip though felt uneasy passing through junctions as I couldn't check that there was no traffic coming in from your right hand side. This must have been a Bank Holiday as your description says it was a Monday but there are no cars parked on the left hand side of Derby Road outside the Moore's Dental Practice. Good work. Well done.

@trickymicky333 Hi, Glad you liked it. Yes it always feels strange watching "virtual driving" as you are not able to check its safe to move on. Yes that was a bank holiday.

a nice video, can i ask what camera you are using? the quality seems very good. is the camera mounted inside or outside? is it a bullet cam by any chance?

[comedyhunter]

@rajsta Its a dirt cheap Toshiba Camileo Pro HD camcorder. Mounted inside right up against the glass.
