Merry Christmas!

Since we're european, we had our Christmas last night, meaning that we are free for a drive in lovely empty roads today! Roof down in the 993 I feel given the weather biggrin

Can anyone suggest a 2.5 hr or so route starting in putney? Was thinking of heading down the A24 and picking up the A272 as far as Winchester before returning up the A31. Can anyone suggest better, maybe north west of London where I'm not so knowledgeable?

Depends what type of roads you want.

M4 to Slough (J5)
A412 north to J17 M25
M25 J17 to J21A
J21A take A414 to Hatfield
A1 North one junction under Hatfield Tunnel
Off at Welwyn junction and head A414 to Hertford
Then back along A414 to Hatfield
Head into London on A1, then A41
Drop down M40 to White City, Hammersmith, Putney.
