    Thank you for this. I used to go down the Medway area to see a lady for my health so all of this seems familiar really. That was from 2002 to 2009; sometimes I went through the Medway Tunnel; other times I would go on the A2 and M2. Other times I would go with my Dad if we were going onto the sea at times also. I live near Dartford so I do know the journey fairly well too. Well done!

    I lived in Frindsbury, then Strood in the 60's - Hereford now. Funnily enough in my sleep I still walk the streets, industrial estates, and MASSIVE hills. Lord help anyone in a wheel chair like I am now. I went to St Mary's Primary. My best friend was Kalasha Carr, so if you read this it's Debbie H!

      @@wirewalker It is well strange to realise you can't go back - everything's gone. I remember seeing an interview with Canadian Indians talking about how all the hills and woods had gone. All that remained was flat dirty sand where the oil had been extracted. At least Herefordshire is still beautiful.

    7:27 down there is one of the streets where I used to live. It is called Elgin Gardens.
    I live in Norwich now in a country park and it feels more quiet here and I don't have to hear traffic noise next to my house :)

    I used to live in Strood until 1970 when I immigrated to Adelaide OZ certainly different to when I was there, one way systems etc I realised after seeing another video why you went and turned into Horthorn road to get up Maple Hill, the bottom is now blocked off. You lost me a couple of turns after passing Temple School driveway.
    Was good to see video as apposed to looking on Google earth. 48 years a lot of changes.

    @elvistheeldorado Cars really should only park facing away from oncoming traffic here in the UK too, reason being at night the rear reflectors built into rear light would be illuminated by the cars, it is simply not enforced by the Police and I guess it's gone on so long many drivers may not even know they should do this.
