Yeah... it is apparently a night and day difference. I actually have to go up to that part of the world this weekend so will have a gander myself.
 
Lol, locals massively exaggerate.

I can't take your word for it, you're a recent immigrant into the area :P

Then again I was in Howick a few years ago, and it was atrocious, so even a small improvement will be night and day

There are definitely improvements, don't get me wrong, it just not as majestic as it sounds. I still drive in pot holes and not on the road.
