They don't tend to be out before 8 in the morning I've noticed.

The biggest problems I find at that time are school buses and Nissan Micra's.


Not to mention the tractors and quarry lorries

I still think Burrington Combe is a great road (especially since they re-surfaced it) followed by a blast along the dead straight Roman roads across the top then back down through Cheddar Gorge

Use the A36 now. Quite good fun route too.



Snap. Mind you, I've been Talivanned on the A36



Where to?

Just past Berkley, heading south.

But the crappy surface was part of the Burrington Coombe Experience, esp when trying to get up there at 7am - if I was stuck behind a truck I used to wait at the bottom for a while and catch it up as the road straightened above Blagdon. Great fun, far better than following the damn thing up the Coombe.

B3210 between Avonwick and Ermington, between 8 and 9 in the evening, deserted and a bit of everything!
