What's your favourite road to drive on in Britain?

True, very true...

My favourite is the one home after I've finished work. :woohoo:

Living in Cumbria there are a fair few that spring to mind.

But when I can combine Hartside with a run beside Ullswater up and down Kirkstone Pass, alongside Windermere and then Thirlmere ending with a Honsiter pass, doubling back a little through Stair to get Whinlatter pass into the bag its all been a very good day!

Couldnt possibly choose one road as they all offer something different depending on the weather and the level of Sunday drivers.,

All great roads! You're right - it is VERY difficult to pinpoint just one in the area...

A fantastic weekend, firstly at the Park Gate, Kidderminster where Jan's arrival was accompanied by a strong smell of burning clutch in the Janrover, or so John told me in some other form of words which I will not repeat here !
Some excellent food, some more new friends joined us and the potato cremator ( sophisticated Jan ) came back for a second helping of our humour, we must be doing something right !
Early start Sunday, our contribution to the 80 MG anniversary celebrations would see us drive from the talking toilet in Much Wenlock to Craven Arms in a bright but bracing ( not freezing ! ), Shropshire morning, then on to Clun and Newtown via the spectacular Kerry forest all ambers and browns in the bright autumn sun.
We met the SW group at Irreclaimable ( spelling 2 out out 10 probably ) it was intended as a coffee and comfort break but some took advantage and started with the first of their three lunches !
The rest of the day is well documented but once we had said farewell to our guides we made our way back through Welshpool to the final food halt of the day at the Old Hand and Diamond, Coed way where John enjoyed another ' snack '

That looks awesome Jan!

The drive over Bealach na Bà was wonderful

We did that pass in the Border Patrol Scotland holiday.

There's an album of photos on the forum. :yesnod:

When I did Lands End < John O'Groats in the MG I did take a detour over Applecross Pass but I didn't take any pic's due to the fact there was very thick cloud over most of it I could barely see past the end of me bonnet let alone take pic's ..I was most disappointed :nonod:

Our week in Scotland was accompanied by almost unbroken sunshine and warmth, and surprisingly no midges.
The Scots among us were dumbfounded! :bust:

Did Applecross and Hartside last year and then the better half found Abergwesyn to Tregaronon on the map when we spent 2 weeks touring Wales last summer, so that was a nice surprise.

If pushed I would have to say Applecross, but that may be due to the fact that driving in convoy is so much fun :yesnod:

Speaking of which can't wait for Stelvio this summer :woohoo:
