As for the driving -it doesn't phase Darrin one bit. He is used to narrow Cornish lanes and cows, bulls, tractors etc on the rad so some stray goat or lunatic truck driver is all in his stride. I have named the car the Kia Sabotage -(it's actually a Sportage!)

We had a brilliant driver too on a tour we did. We had several chats throughout the day about life there and his extended family. We found all of the locals so friendly and they couldn't do enough for you.
