North to Penville

Maryhelen Shuman-Groh

As I’ve mentioned throughout my posts, there are no easy routes to anywhere in Dominica.  Perhaps one of the most difficult testing routes is the one that runs to the northeast of the island.  Where some of the standpipes and villages we visited on other routes were steep and in high elevations, almost every test site on this route requires grinding the low gears.

This was one of the few horizontal sites.

We’re not only in rain but in the clouds.  As we round the northern connecting road, parts are barely visible.  Steve and I had driven this route south from Portsmouth just the day before and I must say I am extremely grateful not to be driving in the low visibility we encountered today.
