I did it last weekend in my little runabout. Much better in a lowered, tuned better handling a car.

Ruan will agree with me on this one, the A686 from Penrith to Haydon Bridge via Alston.
Welding and fabrication projects undertaken, contact me for more information.
the rover hates potholes, with the suspension been that stiff and raw, it really shakes you about.
I was staying at Mallory park and I couldn't get the chance to let the car have a run, as the roads where we were staying were potholed to f*ck. (21-11-2013, 08:20 PM)Jonny81191 Wrote: Ruan will agree with me on this one, the A686 from Penrith to Haydon Bridge via Alston. drifting corner that is!

And with the recent weather, people that think 'light rain' means 29mph and brake hard for every corner. Fuel prices and other people ruin driving tbh, haven't 'just' been for a drive for a long while because of that!

Also the N85 in France, we drove it en-route to Monaco earlier this year in a convoy of 4 306's.
Oh. My. GOD!! Welding and fabrication projects undertaken, contact me for more information.

That road turned the brakes on my Volvo blue.
D: How that road hasn't been banned yet, I don't know.

From penistone down mortimer road to sheffield, then snake pass down into glossop and up to woodheadpass back down into barnsley

A83 - Rest and be thankful
A821 between A84 and Aberfoyle aka Dukes Pass A827 (that runs to the North of Loch Tay) Road from Loch Lyon, to GlenLyon post office, then South past Ben Lawers to the A827. Lastly, A93 Bridge of Cally to Braemar as my favourite.
A moments silence please, for our brothers in the NAD-zone.

loved the woodhead back in the day on my way to wrexham for the Demon Tweeks meet, but i think my fave now is the A9 from thurso - perth, inbetween thurso and inverness it's a lot of twisty stuff right on cliffs / down by the water, hairpins etc, lot of elevation change, after that the scenery just gets better through the highlands down towards perth... a LOT of mileage in that trip, but deffo one i'll be doing again

So many epic roads over there! Also love the run out of the gorge and do enjoy the road between the a38 and Taunton quite a bit

Yeah the camera vans are a pain but tend to do the whole run at night after midnight, get some epic fog driving from penistone to sheffield then some at the very top of snake pass usually good run at that time when the roads are dead , gonna be a fun attempt in the snow but will be followed by a landy haha

Here's a couple of shots of why Epynt (think I mentioned it on the first page) is so Damn epic!

if I did that with the rover, the hydrocans will just explode!!
as mentioned the Buttertubbs pass is awesome as is the road from the Ribble viaduct to Hawes plenty of opportunity to dice with the bikes
both the above are great and I'm sure all those mentioned in previous posts have something to recommend them but my absolute fav is the Mountain section of the TT course on the Isle of Man, approx 9 miles from Ramsey to Douglas well surfaced (it as to be it's part of the race track) well sighted (mostly), good mix of medium fast, fast and OMG fast, and best of all no speed limits, motoring nirvana

In search of the northern lights last night I ended up having a good thrash up the coast road from Scarborough to Saltburn last night, sat on the seafront at Saltburn watching the aurora, great night and an epic hoon

Wait what?! Seeing the northern lights is on my bucket list

There's some good roads through penistone and holmfirth
12-01-2014, 04:59 PM
Dukes pass is good, im going up to glencoe via the A82 then back down to Callander then down the dukes pass and back via hartside soon, hartside must be one of the best roads in the UK starting at Haydon Bridge.
