    They have all sorts of good transit all over the UK. Use it and sightsee, instead.
    the road to the west of Ringwood is just one roundabout after another - we use the Wessex way which is to the south of it and often slower, but the roundabouts are manic even for a local.

    I have just got the MoT test done on my campervan - 21.5ft long 6.5ft wide and 7ft tall not counting the chimney, with 6 wheels - people carriers with dark tinted windows reverse out of the way for me.
    I travelled East to get the test done and there are not only roundabouts but joined together roundabouts going that way - I think that this must have been some sort of experimental area for novel traffic management - it was the first place in England to have traffic lights, I am told
