try the small narrow very steep roads round buxton over the pennines in the tranny!! one of them was a sharp left hander at the bottom onto the mother of all mountains!, At the steepest bit i had to drop to first!!
On the economy, last time out with trailer going down to sweet lamb near newtown, wales, sat at about 55-60 nearly all the way i got 32 mpg!! i only get 34 normally! was a nice easy run though
