A drive from Hemel Hempstead, Sat, 23 Nov 2019 by David Howard

In our nasty sounding places I realised I didn't have a photo of the sign for Uranus Road in Hemel Hempstead, so I yet again braved the elements and went out in the pouring rain to trek around the area and cover as much new ground as possible.

Click the blue circles to see a photograph taken from that spot and read further information about the location. The blue lines indicate the direction of view. There is also a slideshow of this trip. ( Auto-sync scrolling and map dragging )
