What's your favourite driving road(s)?

[MovingShadow]

I'm jealous of the countryside roads you guys have.

There's a few roads I like to take though, like this one:

Roads where other muppets in chav motors are not around lol.

On a proper note, I like to trek around the brecons or the Cornish coast roads (out of season of course).

I've a few.

A34 Oxford to Winchester as it's a nice and easy route although often congested.

A422 Deanshanger to Worcester - always a fun road, especially Sun Rising Hill on the Oxfordshire/Warwickshire border, amazing views when dropping off the Oxfordshire plains but a b*tch to drive back up (it's a 2nd gear job!)

This next one is not particularly a favourite route as such but this road creeps me out every time I go down it. Don't know what it is but every time I'm on the A436 it's always thick fog and often no other cars around, the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. When I was a child, my mum was driving down there and it was raining heavily and her windscreen caved in - I don't know if thats subconsciously made me weary of it but I do not like it! A436 Chipping Norton to Andoversford via Stow-on-the-Wold and Bourton-on-the-Water.

I've done some reading up on the A436 and found this ebook last year, and the road is known to have had a lot of accidents, and I know other people report feeling the same when they drive down there! if anyone wants a read, here it is lol

Watch out for the first right hander as it tightens up half way round :?

Pin marker E - Bacon butty and coffee stop.

Pin marker F - Photo (video showed the speedo too well and James might tell me off )

Pin marker G - Photo (facing south towards F during a rerun)

From the summit looking down towards H

You definitely have some of the best locations for photoshoots Neil! Envious! Heading up to northern Scotland (hopefully in the Twingo) in the summer though so we shall see!
