Quick blast - Cheshire/N.Wales/Shropshire - any must-do's??

[scirocco83]

Planning on taking my Scirocco for a blast tomorrow as i've got a bit of time off work.

EVO triangle is about 65-70 miles away (from Liverpool).

Any recommendations of decent roads a little closer to home - maybe a nice circuit ???

Thinking a 140 mile 'round trip for the EVO is a little too much for now.

Are you coming from Liverpool direction?

The top of the Evo is only 45 miles (less than an hour) from the centre of Liverpool, but if you're worried about driving a few more miles, then I'd suggest staying at home

Weekdays (and early mornings) are the only time you're likely to have a clear run anyway, and there are loads of roads to chose from if you ignore the 'getting there & back' miles.

Changed my plans from a 'quick blast' to a 4 hour hooning session!

Decided on the EVO triangle after all. Had a search through the forum and was recommended the B5105 from Ruthin to Cerrigydrudion (right hand corner of the triangle).

Was about 3pm by the time i hit the B5105, runcorn bridge was rammed with traffic (5 lanes into 1).

Would definitely recommend the B5105 on weekday when it's clear (was clear for me) - plenty of tight twisties and some roller-coaster sprint sections. Only problem being the few over-taking points - if you know the road it would be fine.

Blipped 'round the triangle a couple of times and had a few brown pants moments when getting a little too cocky - ESP and ABS kicking in to halt any disaster.

170 miles - fantastic trip!!

I got stuck there the other Saturday returning from taking a VAV to pick up his car from the airport. Stil, it's a nice bridge to look at....
