Pirbright bends are very good all around the ranges. Go carefull - there have been lots of fatalities on that road. Go for a drive through the hind head tunnel!!! Just watch out for the average speed cameras

I moved to Woking about six months ago. There are two route that I like that take less the 2 hours.

1. Set the satnav to Fernhurst TVR GU27 3EE then continue to Good wood circuit which is well signposted.
2. Set satnav to Mole Valley TVR RH5 5JH but take the right turn to Leigh Hill, the B2126 off the A29.

This route is a lot longer. Set satnav to Bognor regis but take the turning towards Good wood.

That will explain why i no longer hear your Tuscan rumbling past my window in Camden then!
I miss the sound of you going past Wagamamas!

So a year later and last night I drove the Pipbright bends some mentioned. Only did a small section of it as the place looks like a maze on the map. Great fun - really happy theres some roads like that round here. Ill have to do an early morning run when its day light as ive no idea how busy itll be during the day.

There's not a lot to it really. The roads are short but it's a nice little blast if you are en route somewhere. From Pirbright and the Golf course end you can fork left to Mytchett at the bridge or go right which takes you to Frimley Green. On the other side of Pirbright you have the road that goes towards Normandy and Ash. Again a short bit of road really, but a little faster and more flowing than earlier. Unfortunately, there aren't miles and miles of such good roads you can string together uninterrupted. If you are in Woking you can also try heading out towards Chobham/Windlesham and Sunningdale but avoid the A30.

Agree. Short and sweet. But itll do nicely when I just want to stretch the cars legs now and again. Theres a few other places about but again as you say they are short.
