    Looks like my kind of dirt track, not well used, out of the way. Pity about the AIP at the start of the drive, lets hope "someone" does something to eradicate.

    The road also has several potholes too, fortunately I was able to avoid them due to keeping to the speed limit albeit the racing enthusiast on my tail...one most often finds trucks ahead going at 40km/h towards the summit. Faster than the truck going 15km/h that I was unfortunately stuck behind on the Huisriviers pass last Friday night driving back from Oudtshoorn..

    Thank you. We've been honing our drone skills for 6 months. Its a lot more difficult than what most people think. Besides being wind sensitive, the drone can only follow at 37 kph maximum speed. By switching to Sport mode it can fly at 60 kph but then the obstacle avoidance sensors don't function. So we go for the conservative option and drive slowly, then double the speed afterwards in studio. It entails of lots of extra editing, but the end result is worth it.

    One shouldn't worry about the "dangerous" passes. Just drive on the horizontal surfaces. I grew up nearby. Roads are safe; it's users that pose danger sometimes. 😊

    Not much to write home about, but its an official pass. We prefer referring to roads like these as "Suburban Passes". There are many in Cape Town - like Constantia Nek, Rhodes Drive, Red Hill Road, Slangkop, Signal Hill Road and Kloof Road.

    The music is bad. I can't both listen to the content and turn off the volume. Please stop the bad music.

  • @TrygveRoberts
    @TrygveRoberts2 ай бұрын

    That's interesting. We set the voice-over volume loud enough to be clearly heard above the background music. We select background music that is mostly gentle and easy on the ear (of course we can't please everybody all of the time). The corollary of the theory is to have no music at all. Do you think that would be better? It would save me a LOT of man hours.

    I've watched all 3 parts, what an incredible, beautiful journey - thank you for sharing. What I found most amazing is that this road must have been built/developed almost a century, perhaps more, ago, and it still exists and can be used. A remarkable feat of engineering, especially being done so long ago. Imagine the manual effort that must have gone into this, most likely in a time of picks and shovels!
