Just for information, the back road from the development to Vera is now open, although it's still a bit of a track.
Coming from Vera, head down the dual carriageway from the bullring roundabout. After the next roundabout, carry on down the bypass and take the last slip-road off right which takes you to a roundabout that goes under the road. Carry on down that road (a bit like a track in places) and there's a sharp turn right, keep going and it brings you over the hill and down towards the estate which will be on your left.
