Such an awesome place it is. Perfect place to be after retirement. It's peaceful Island. Please post more videos of St Helena, Acension and Tristan Da Cunha Islands. 🤩😍🙂
@@MultiPorkpie Import it but that is going to be very expensive. In general, everything on this island is much more expensive because it is one of the most remote places in the world.
Yeah well if I do decide to emigrate there for my NINTH emigration I guarantee you you'll have a cinema AND a stock exchange there. And more. None of this small-time rinky-dink Kabuki bullshit. Looks to me like a place that needs order and DISCIPLINE.
Where do they get the cars? Who maintains them? Who maintains the roads? What about auto accidents? Where is closest hospital? It looks really beautiful and very remote.
@@rjp801 well I don't mean that since the ship stopped, there is no way to access the island. I just mean that the experience of a long ship ride is different than a short flight and I was hoping to use the ship but then discovered that it's gone
Island-wide speed limit is 30mph (48kph) and in many places it's 20mph (32kph), but I'm told that the maximum speed ever (illegally) achieved on the island was 120mph (200kph) - on one of the winding roads!

This in some respects caught an end of an era for the island, as the airport round about this time was opening. I was in St Helena about 4 years before this video was taken and everything up the winding road up Jamestown to Half Tree Hollow is exactly as I remember it.
Oh, the memories! Going up Ladder Hill Road, passing the Fort, then up past Half Tree Hollow, and further, a lovely drive. I did the 5-day voyage from Cape Town to St Helena, on the ship RMS St Helena, spent 8 days on the island, b/b with a local resident, then 5 days back home, what a holiday! I do hope that the airport doesn't spoil the lovely Saints!
That MK2 escort at the start, superb! I used to own one! Ive always wanted to visit Saint Helena, soak in the islander life and escape the modern world.
That truck in front is flying around blind curves on that mountainside road, which was scary enough when I assumed it was a one way street. Now I know it’s a two way road and the driver is just nuts
The Saints on the island say you would - just get used to it. I keep thinking they should start an off road race and publicize it to the world once the new undersea high speed fiber internet link is completed, which is expected sometime in 2022. The problem is, someone might actually go 'off road', so to speak.
American-style pay phone and phone booth. If it were not for the driving on the left, it would look a lot like some of the more remote small towns in Eastern Canada
Great video! But ...the way the guy in front of you in the beginning was speeding around those turns without being able to see if anyone was coming or not...pretty scary!
I know, tell them about it, won't don't believe me! UK, Australia, Japan, and many more, something is wrong with their orientation, maybe s.th in their head is causing this dangerous, and unnecessary confusion. It's bad, real bad:)
Didnt look in bad nick. Strange, considering the reputation they had in the UK for rusting away. You'd think a tiny island in the middle of the Atlantic would have quite a corrosive atmosphere.
I grew up in a village surrounded by green forests and imagining myself living in a place where trees are scarce gives me anxiety. It's a very beautiful island though, thanks for sharing this video.
The problem is this island has similar mileage distance as the city of London, England and theirs no modern development of skyscraper's or mega plex residential accommodation * Simply A Caribbean Islands Individuals Civilians Prayers Dawning The Light Of GOD footprint homeward bound
You’d like Tobago. There’s ONE main road on the island and that goes around it. For the same reason, it’s impossible to lose your way driving. If you’re not sure, continue straight until you arrive where you started.

You know you're in a small island when a license plate says "430".
Saw a video with a ford van with the license plate “10” hahahahahah
@@KingJoshuaTheGreat in my country you buy lower numbered plates and the mayor usually takes 1, 2 and 3
How would you buy a brand new car
@@MultiPorkpie Import it but that is going to be very expensive. In general, everything on this island is much more expensive because it is one of the most remote places in the world.
I think this is the best place for an introvert like me
Me too.
Nearest cinema: 3000 km.

LoL
My god that was beautiful....and exhilarating ..thanks for posting
Thanks for this fantastic video, my heart was crying watching this lovely video saying please take me to St Helena island
I served in HMS Puma based at Simonstown, Cape Town. Visited St Helena, Ascension Island and Tristan de Cunha in 1962. No cars on St Helena then.
Where do they get the cars? Who maintains them? Who maintains the roads? What about auto accidents? Where is closest hospital? It looks really beautiful and very remote.
Not sure but most probably S Africa since there's a ferry from and to St Halena.
Each video i watch makes me want to go more... just a shame i caught on after the ship stopped
bull crap - it is easier than ever to get there and cheaper...
@@rjp801 well I don't mean that since the ship stopped, there is no way to access the island. I just mean that the experience of a long ship ride is different than a short flight and I was hoping to use the ship but then discovered that it's gone
I know it is a very old comment but now there are flights to St. Helena. There are not very many but they do fly multiple times a week.
I find it amazing how fast they drive on the winding roads

Lovely video. Thank You! Hoping to visit one day...Great to see the old Escorts still going... many old cars around still?
I have a 93 XR3 here in Brazil. Since new in my family!
Great car! I don't sell for nothing in this world.
Watch as I blow through the STOP sign 12 seconds into my drive! I'm now qualified to drive in California. Awesome!!
I drove this exact street in Google Earth, amazing place, so nice to get to actually see it as a video, thanks for posting!
- Los Angeles
you did not drive it - you live in a video fake reality
Yeah my dad was born here and when we went there. There is NO better place.

Reminds me of driving The Conors Pass on the way to Dingle in County Kerry in Ireland.
Now, that is a hill climb! St Helena rally anyone? Could become a thing :-)
I dont think it would have the infrastructure required for a rally. Lots of shipping and stuff. Very costly
I propose that the Tour de France stop by instead.
The air coming in the window of the car gives a air of freshness to this video - thanks

Vivienne hart Fantastic, lucky You! I'd love to go
beautiful
@@joschkahurst, even if not born there, the island has a special feel. Do you live there?
We did the trip in 2014 .. only 3 days on the island ... but a time never to forget !!!
That MK2 escort at the start, superb! I used to own one! Ive always wanted to visit Saint Helena, soak in the islander life and escape the modern world.
And climb Jacobs ladder...
I wish I was there someday.
😁Great to see this! Thanks for sharing, please make more videos?! 🕊🌸🍥
Great catch of the L Plate, and also impressive drop!
The driver keeps going upwards forever, and the top never comes, then when I think is come to the top he stops, shit!
Just had the same thought😀😀
This is great. Cheers for the video.
Thanks for posting it !!!!!
Can you make one like that going downhill?
do they have automobile workshops and repair/service centers..
Tommy Rottweiler yes...
a very nice road :)
Fantástico, nem parece o lugar mais isolado do mundo!
E não é. Você está confundindo com Tristão da Cunha. Isso aí é Santa Helena.
On a scooter would be an awesome and fun way to get around!
That truck in front is flying around blind curves on that mountainside road, which was scary enough when I assumed it was a one way street. Now I know it’s a two way road and the driver is just nuts

False speed impression probably.
Beautiful footage. I have to visit this little island and see it for myself one day.
Wow, is Jamestown here? I’m someday wanna go to Saint Helena!
I bet gas is expensive there.
The owners of those cars could
Make a fortune selling back to the U.K., those Escort MK2’s superb!!
Ok, I'd like to know how 19 people so far, would give this video a thumbs down? You don't like St. Helena, the geography the wind, the clouds? DUH!
The island is a colony of Britain but its South African in so many ways, the people, the houses. the food. An extention of the Cape Flats.
American-style pay phone and phone booth.
If it were not for the driving on the left, it would look a lot like some of the more remote small towns in Eastern Canada
I wish one day i can visit st helena,
Reminded me of the canary islands, albeit driving on the left.
Its like la Palma
I am like saint helena frm pakstn god bless u
Those Ford escorts are worth thousands ✌️
¿Alguien sabe si Snta.Elena tiene casos de coronavirus?
Hasta ahora no ha habido ningun caso www.sainthelena.gov.sh/coronavirus-covid-19-live-qa/
What an awesome drive.
Guyanese?
do they have internet there?
Yes, slow though. Last I looked was 20 mb/s shared by the entire island. Apparently an uplink to sattelites.
The road seems to be very dangerous and vertiginous...
This is better then other documentaries
gasoline must be very expensive here.
Beautiful place. Greetings from Brazil!
Thank you very much!
Who's the psycho -path in the front motor who thinks he's in an F1 race?
The poster of this video wasn't exactly doing a holiday drive either.
Beautiful Island.And so much Landrover Defender,also beautiful.👌
Fico imaginando como foi feito essa pavimentação, infra estrutura, saneamento, saúde e trabalho.
Vivem de que? Qual a economia?
0.37. What's a stop sign? Just a bit of decoration. It seeme stop signs are ignored everywhere. 😊
Where do they get their fuel?
They should be only one company, Toyota. Its a remote island thus reliability and spare parts will be a major concern.
Great video! But ...the way the guy in front of you in the beginning was speeding around those turns without being able to see if anyone was coming or not...pretty scary!
It´s really fun to see all these old fiestas and Escort´s being driven all over the island, trully reliable cars.
Blimey the roads are better than the North of Scotland,the SNP can't be there might think of moving
아 너무 예쁘다.. 너무 평화로워 보여. 마치 동화속에 나오는 마을 같아. 판타지 영화에 나올법한 풍경. 헬라나 국가에 “하늘에서 신이 내려온다면 아마 세인트 헬레나 섬을 선택하겠지”라는 말이 무슨 말인지 알겠다.
This is the first video I’ve seen of St Helena’s high country. Thanks
Que maravilhosa ilha parabéns aos santos.
stop, stop, your driving on the wrong side
I know, tell them about it, won't don't believe me! UK, Australia, Japan, and many more, something is wrong with their orientation, maybe s.th in their head is causing this dangerous, and unnecessary confusion. It's bad, real bad:)
That's the natural side to you, as Napoleon found out when they exiled him here, while the unnatural side is the republican terrorist side.
Driving on the left is the real side to drive on
Yepp, there is a right side and a wrong side :-)
Please can I extract this video to use as a route on the Rouvy online cycling platform? Your other videos too?
Break pads good business
Well, first impression of the island: no one stops at the stop signs.
Walked along that road ❤ thanksforbringing back the memories 😊
Whan happen if ypu have a heart attack in there. The closes hospital is in.......London.
Heisann Lars, your name sounds like a scandinavian name. You´re a Nordmann?
You would think you would see Mike after mile of solar panels and wind generators.

Island is beutiful. From Whiich country direct flight connection available to this island?
Johannesburg South Africa...
1884 Breitling . Thank you so much.
wow that a very narrow road.
o que podem fazer numa ilha dessa?
O Brasil é melhor.
Interesting video! I imagine a brake failure would be a pretty hair-raising experience on those roads.
Tourist: So what side of the road do you drive on in St Helena?
Islander: Yes.
You’d like Tobago. There’s ONE main road on the island and that goes around it. For the same reason, it’s impossible to lose your way driving. If you’re not sure, continue straight until you arrive where you started.
Police: Who ran you off the road sir?
Motorist: It was 2946 officer.
very cool place
