Road!!
#1
What's your favourite road?

I went on a drive into the Yorkshire Moors on Saturday and found an epic road between Hutton-le-hole and Rosedale Abbey.

Was a difficult light and no tripod but took some snaps anyway.

Part of the road:

A quick brace of the freezing wind for a snap

Simple fast cruising will be the A3m up to London or the A27 heading from pompey past chichester or the a34 if there is no traffic or lorries overtaking each other but that hardly ever happens.

If you want fun country road driving then head up to the New Forest and then on to salisbury then into somerset. The drive to the cheddar meets and home again is a right blast at the right time of day with little or no traffic.

I would like to go to Scotland or up North sometime to go on the real rural roads, would be great in my car.

Heathrow airport ring road (and a few surrounding roads) at 3am, simply my favourite road lap.

Lol, Chris I knew you were going to say that!

There's a road near us in Denham that Scott likes.....when he got his 6, we drove up and down it about 20 times (there was a small tunnel...windows down Big Grin)

one corner that's just like the laguna seca
perfect for rallying

Not many roads round here Sad
A31 Down to the new forest is a good road when I'm going down to the office. Problem is I'm always in the skoda when going down there and that handles like the titanic.

Do like driving through the new forest not because there twisty roads but because it's just a nice place the drive through

I'll give you a great route if you spend a lot of time driving in Yorkshire. First of all, the moors are good but the dales are better. I know you spend time in York, so directions from there...

http://www.theaa.com/route-planner/index.jsp#

Type in York to Tan Hill Inn via Bedale, Hawes, Thwaite and Keld. That'll take you along the A684 into the dales which is a great fast A-road, then north from Hawes up Cliff Gate Road which is a great back road, then up the B6270 "Buttertubs Pass" which is the best driving road I know anywhere, then up onto Tan Hill up Stonesdale Road which is a bleak, single lane rollercoaster with steep drops and sharp crests that will see all 4 off the ground, up to a great pub (the highest in England) that does great food. Great Sunday drive, trust me, it's my favourite route Smile

Clarksons opinion...

This road is amazing. A massive straight section with hidden dips gets a little bit of lift Wink and then there are some proper windy bits and blind summits at others! Big Grin

and this in cornwall is pretty epic! wingmirrors touching on mouth sides up an extreme gradient with blind bends! Big Grin

http://g.co/maps/zvdd4

also just anything over any moors is simply epic! Or.... hand nock pass in the lake district Big Grin

You mean Hardknott Pass? The lake district has some amazing roads, Kirkstone Pass is brilliant as well, but I've never managed to drive any of them when it's quiet. It's easier to find deserted roads in the dales for some reason Smile

B3212 across the middle of Dartmoor is an amazing road if you know it...

A382 down into Bovey Tracey is a pretty tasty road, also, that is proper 306 territory...
