nice video ... was this recorded with a moblie phone or camcorder? just that it's well clear, thanks for posting :)

[oraclecomponents]

Thanks for your post was recorded usinga a Panasonic TZ3 Compact Digital Camera, love them just upgraded to DMC - FT1 HD.. You need good cameras to make it worth bothering really.

well the every day just passes, and this is a way of recording it, things will change over the years the cars, the streets etc, plus some people grew up there and moved away, or abroad!. Hopefully you get the picuture! may I ask why you wached it?

but in answer to your question my mum and dad live overseas now and they have not been in the UK for 20 years so the reason I did it was to show them..

Gow on you give it a go..Preserve now for the future.. Laters

Yes I know that bit of road! I wnated to get some film of this road to preserve 2008, as the cars will change, the trees will grow, and one day I am sure they will make it one way or no cars allowed!!

It's a universally acknowledged fact: ROUNDABOUTS CONTROL TRAFFIC FLOW BETTER THAN CROSSROADS!! or whatever the fuck you call it.

the roads in harlow are shit,not a dual carriageway anywhere, avoid like the plague if poss, its gonna get worse with all the new houses being built and not a thought to the road network...the A414 at eastwick should have gone on to the M11 when it was made into a dual carriageway early 80s...its a shambles!!!!!!!!!!! schoolkids could plan better than the idiots who caused this..
