and sometimes like this

Ummm used to live in upwell & before that outwell, always my favourite blatt even in crappy company cars at the time. I'm upto Mums in Outwell on Friday from Kent so will be around there.
Now come up M11-A11-A142 to A1101 & through Welney. All speed limited to hell these days. Road from Welney to 3 holes still good fun though even at the limit ;-)

A146 turn off into hales, then blast through there to haddiscoe.
If you havn't done it before, its worth having a go. You can thank me afterwards

Awesome stretch of road and exceptionally close to where I live, great fun in any car and well worth a go.

I travel it every day, there are some horrible dips and cambers to catch you out. Look out for all the wheel marks and recovery ruts in the fields on both sides of the road where at least four drivers have gone "blasting" to grief.
Awesome if you get right, but you'll need to read the contours.

Was on the Snake Pass last week and the London to Brighton route yesterday. Took the B1098 home because I was that bored.

[PetrolHeadSeb]

Just thought I'd give this a worthy bump up this list as it helped me enjoy a great drive earlier this morning

I also enjoy a blast along the B1354 between Wroxham and Coltishall every now and again. Quite a short stretch of road and can be a bit tight in places but offers a few nice twists and turns.

Also, north Norwich to Acle is much more interesting via Plumstead Road by the double mini roundabouts between Heartsease / Thorpe

needham market to lavenham , good fun rd between villages

[dirty boy]

There's a smashing 47 mile route from mine, here's a link....

The street in Beccles is as close you'll get to having a tunnel with the houses close to the road you get good accoustics!

Mostly undulating NSL roads, the odd 30mph restriction (mainly at Beccles) but very picturesque, just nice roads, one stretch of dual carriageway to open up on.

There's also a Maccy Ds/BP half way to stop for a coffee, chat and fill up. I'll have to sort a 'breakfast club' one Sunday morning.

[gaz453]

I live up on the North Norfolk Coast and whilst you have to pick your moment very carefully I will drag us back to page 1 of this thread and the A149 North Norfolk Coast Road.
Summer days emphatically aren’t that moment as that is when our two wheeled brethren battle caravan owners for naming rights to their own particular chapter of the sequel to ‘Origin of Species’.
Choose an early morning in Spring though and if you get slightly lucky with the traffic then it is beautiful, fun and challenging. I particularly enjoy the section from Weybourne down to Cley.
