There's lots of places - you just need to be away from cities, people and motorways.

The further north you go, the better.

The countryside/B roads can be ace. Just look out for the wondering sheep.

agree planned a whole route westbound on the a272, after an hour of driving behind some numpty gave up and went back home. never again!

There's no point trying at any other time than early weekend mornings or perhaps a late weekday evening in summer.
