Never been to Suffolk/Norfolk area but I've heard its quite a nice area to visit. What are the roads like around there ? Is it all flat and boring or are there any good driving roads ?

I'm afraid to say, mostly flat and fairly boring - but there are some FANTASTIC high speed roads around the Fens (Norfolk/Cambs) - they'll be 3 or 4 miles long, and straight as a Benson. However, they are bordered by unprotected drainage ditches - crash and you'll a) drown and b) not be found for ages.

Otherwise, you've got some half decent roads around Brandon/Thetford, but many are single carriageway, and wide and straight. The A134 is probably the most exciting road from Suffolk in to Norfolk. The A11 is too highly camera'd.

I can't think of any off the top of my head that would be good and twisty, yet reasonably clear. All the coast roads are snail-slow. The best thing to do is probably find some roads around the military bases' boundary fences. They'll quite possibly be long, straight, and with more turns than most.

DISCLAIMER: There may be some cracking teeny tiny roads, which the "pro'er loocals" will know a bit better, but the main roads, don't bother, it's not worth the journey. smile

Ooo arrr. I be a "pro'er loocal" living in Suuurfolk.

As said the main roads tend to be busy as we don't have many big roads here. However there are loads of fantastic smaller roads with bugger all traffic on them.

Let me know where you going to/from and I'll point you out some cracking roads.

I might have to go check this road out whenever I get the coilovers installed on my car.

Hi Jeremiah

As you're a Suffolk newbie, make sure you check out the East Anglian forum http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/forum.asp?h=0... and maybe pop along one of the meets/shows
