Dundalk Test Routes

prettygurrly

anyone pass in Dundalk lately? There is a thread but it's three years old so I thought I'd start a new one...boyfriend is starting from Fairways...

**Timbuk2**

I passed my test there a year ago, and failed my previous one there a year and 2 months ago.

There's no "routes" as such, the instructor can bring you to places in any order. I can't remember exactly the order I went to places, so I'll just list the places I remember going!

You always turn right out of the Fairways and towards the lights at Xerox. From there you can go straight on or right.

The places I was brought was
Dunmore Estate on the avenue Road (three point turn).
Greenacres (reverse around the corner)
Bay Estate (reverse around the corner)
Hill Street Bridge, can approach from any direction, usually from the Avenue Road turning left, or from the Dublin Road heading into town.
Ramparts.
Turning right (or left) onto Jocelyn Street from the one-way street beside the Little Chic store(or whatever it is now, I always knew it as Little chic - I think it's Kobi colours or something - it's between that and the museum). It's a tough place to turn right as there's lots of traffic and awful visibility.

Glenwood estate (turnabout and reverse around the corner).
The roundabout by the swimming pool.
Marshes Avenue.
Tom Bellew Avenue (they nearly always go here, 4 roundabouts in close succession :P )

that's all I can remember really. Basically they can bring you anywhere in Dundalk (although usually not Clanbrassil Street, for some reason) in any order. But Dundalk is very easy to drive around, virtually no hills :P
