I echo sentiments on A4074 and A4155 - sad thing is numptys have always hindered me on both roads (pet hate being queues of 10-odd cars on the overtaking stretch of A4074 refusing to overtake because of the dotted-line hatches ).

The B road from Wellington CP to Alton is great - again though - Numptys like to intercept

Just to reiterate.. I really recommend the B4011 between Long Crendon & Brill.. go one.. give it a go...aAnd when you're done, you can turn round and have another go!!

A favourite of mine when driving Oxford -> Wycombe on the M40 is to come off a J6, then follow the A40 up through the twisty section, back onto the M40 at J5.

Breaks the motorway montony nicely

A4074 a loverly road, personal fave though is Marlow to Henley.
Friend of ours was killed on this road at the weekend just gone. She was a young mother of two as well. Very sad indeed.

Keep it shiny side up people.

Try coming off at 8A and following road thro' Long Crendon to Postcombe and then up the hill to Stokenchurch. Twisty, open and one of my favorites

The A404 dual carriageway from Handy Cross towards Marlow and beyond when it's light and little traffic around. 150mph the other day and still 1000rpm to go.
