East London / Essex trip

[AdamAID]

Hi Everyone,

My friends and I were hoping to plot out a decent route for half a days blatting, starting and ending in east London, ideally with a decent pub for some lunch half-way through, for this weekend.

I understand that Essex has some decent roads sometimes used for the advanced driving training and routes, but not quite sure which areas / routes are best.

Hoping that someone might be able to recommend either some cool individual roads or an entire route for us to follow!

Thanks in advance!

Adam

In the end headed to Colchester via the b1026 on the way out, and the b1022 on the back - of the two the b1026 was definately the better, less traffic and more interesting turns.
A few other nice roads out there, used the bestbikersroads website for a couple of other ideas!
Thanks for the responses.
Cheers,
Adam
