Any decent roads to try here?

[LeroyLoser]

Or in and around the area, further afield, dont mind.

In my youth I worked on the western outskirts of the Birmingham conurbation, it's fairly easy to get out into Shropshire and the Welsh borders for some agreeable roads.

[alock]

That area just about includes the B4437 from Burford to Charlbury. This is the road Harry Metcalfe uses in every road test on his YouTube channel.

B6047 from Melton Mowbray towards Market Harborough is a nice flowing road.

[Canon_Fodder]

The A14 is nice if you like lorries

[LightningBlue]

Yes, have a look in the thread ‘Where’s your favourite bend or sequence of corners’ - Lincolnshire has some amazing B roads which I’ve posted about. Where are you based?

[LeroyLoser]

Hotel in Sutton Coldfield currently

[ReverendCounter]

Further field, north, you've got the A57 from Sheffield to Glossop.

A Rutland Water jaunt would be doable - could do Melton - Oakham - Normanton - Stamford and head up to Grimsthorpe Castle and back. So many good B roads in Lincolnshire you might want to try a few more.

Caffeine and Machine near Stratford might be worth a look as a coffee stop.

Thanks gents, great info, i’ll have a go tomorrow on some of them if theyre en-route to cadwell from leicester.

[LeroyLoser]

Turns out ive bagged cadwell tomorrow eve, which means a drive from northampton - cadwell, looks like market harborough - melton will work as part of the route...

B660 from the A1 junction down to Bedford is good.

Or you could avoid it. IMO, the only good thing about C&M is the idea.

Get the Calimoto app on your phone, you can dial in the twisties if that's your thing...

As you can see by the purple lines, I tend to head for the peak district.....

I've not been to be honest. What was it about the place that you didn't like?

Quality of food, huge number of people, chavs, burnouts, lack of respect for others.

Fair enough. I will probably pop along one day and see for myself.

I've only been once, in the early days, and I understand the owners have got the tts under a little more control now, but I've no interest in going back.

It must have been bad then. I will see for myself some time.


Just checked the reviews and they seem good so might be worth another trip.
