B4494 Newbury to Wantage
Discussion
Go early in the morning or at a quiet time of day.
A road with lots of bends, dips and cambers. Drive it both ways - its so easy to string several corners together to make it huge fun.
Watch out for the last few corners into Newbury - road narrow and dangerous.
Spectacular high speed straights on top of the downs looking over the Thames Valley.

Thanks for the memories guys,
I also have nearly become a cropper with the flooding at Leckhampsted. It is fairly easy to spot though.
The other hazard to watch out for is wildlife. The whole route is very rural and rabbits, pheasants etc abound - the most memorable was a deer going over my windscreen at 30mph - the car didn't look very pretty after that episode!!!
