yorkshire dales are a fave of mine, just take a gamble and get lost and u may find a good road.
i like the buttertubs pass.

 

The roads on the way to the Isle of skye are great roads.

Evo mag were on there way there testing some nice cars on Monday

 

Evo mag also have done the EVO TRIANGLE in North Wales

 

The road between Burnley and Hebden Bridge has always been my favorite.

 

I quite like the A685 between the M6 and scotch corner - if you get a clear run at it then it's great!

 

Nice road that up over Coppy Pitt (spelling)

 

Me and friends want to do this soon as well, if the weather holds up. I did suggest the Welsh mountains. But will consider anything.

 

Is that the one that goes along the bottom of the valley? If so, not that one, the one that runs parallel to it along the top of the valley along the Long Causeway! It's really challenging and largely traffic free.

 

Some quality roads in Scotland, right up north, before it gets single lane nonsense. Some of the Aberdeen peeps will be able to advise further....

Failing this, have heard of some sweet sounding welsh places ??

 

This Sheep wrestlers is bang on the money

Found a nice road last week, from the A483 get on the 525 and head for Dolgelleu

 

I believe that's actually the EVO TRIANGLE

 

The triangles abit more West

Triangle (hope the link works) A5 B4501 A543
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&so...1&ie=UTF8&z=11

I did A483, A525, A5104, A5, A494

 

That sounds about right to me, should do since its only a few miles down the road from me

 

Well one of my fav road is the snake pass in the peak district, A57.
Some mega roads great roads in Wales near Aberystwyth (think that how its spelt!)
Devils Bridge and the roads to Builth Wells from Aberystwyth, but the small road thought the forests.

 

yeah, Peak District is meant to be good.

I like North Wales though, especially the Llandegla moors.

 

The one that runs over the top from Todmoreden to Burnley - it essentially follows the route of the railway

 

The Debigh moors, you can see oncoming traffic from miles away

 

My favourite is the road from Aberaeron to Llandysul.

At the opposite end of the scale, if you're looking for outright speed, there's a stretch of the M54 that's virtually deserted most of the time, there's the 4 lane section of the M2 southbound, and part of the M69 where you can see clearly for miles in front and behind you for any unwanted attention.

 

snake pass/woodhead pass

 

cat and fiddle between buxton and congleton great road especially on a bike

 

Any in the south east anyone know of. Want to do this meself but want something a bit more local.

 

mint roads

watch for speed cameras outside the cat and fiddle pub,the twats are there most sundays

 

Apparently there will be average speed cameras up on the cat and fiddle by easter

Which is why im heading up there for a blast in early march

 

looks like ill do the same then or find a new road

 

The 'Mad Mile' is worth a go.

 

Edinburgh to peebles, I've done it in under 15 mins in the dead of the night back when I was silly enough. Brilliant driving road.

Scotland is full of ace driving roads in fact.

 

I have to agree but there are some right dodgy bits, i fooked a gearbox mount on that road with the hammering it got.

Still a great road.

 

doesnt surprise me to be fair,theres some right nobheads that use that road,mainly bikers like,not that ive got anything against them but you need eyes in your arse when there about on a sunday.

 

a85 creif-loch earn-oban.


not been on it for years but last the last time i was passenger in my brothers 240bhp n/a 16v astra returning from the phillips tour of mull.

full chat with jenveys roaring on a sunny day next to the water

 

can only think of shortish roads, but...13 bends (yep as deadly as it sounds), snake pass i imagine to be very good, lots around matlock and the peak district.

as im sure kosman will agree, and others from derbyshire area, as the boost kicks in going up slack hill it can be very fun its a very steep hill, 14% i think, you go down a steep hill to it which you have to do very slow, then put it in 3rd and boot it up the hill waiting for the turbo to kick in. a friend of mine does it in his golf gti all the time haha

 

slack hill,greasy road,rear wheeler cos=fun

 

near lake windomeer (think its called, theres a pub there that doesnt allow bikers) great roads going up to that
