Following on from my day out ( see thread - Country Lanes) I thought it would be nice if we could share great drives in the country to let others know where the Driving Pleasure still exists:
1.The Country road I took was just before Andover from the west on the A303 to Hungerford across country defined within the A303/A338/A342/A343. Couldnt tell you the exact road as I left it up to Satnav but I passed Hatherden,Verham Shute,Buttermere,Ham on my way into Hungerford.
2. Last saturday took a trip into the Northamptonshire countryside to refollow a route given to me last year at a Classic Car rally at Silverstone (in mates E-type). It went in a Circle from Aston Martin at Newport Pagnel,via Olney,Yardley Hastings,Castle Ashby,Sywell,Pitsford Reservoir,Althorp,The Bringtons,East Haddon,Everdon,Fawsley Hall, (silverstone) and home to just outside banbury.
3. Highway 1 from Monterey (Pebble Beach) via Big Sur to Santa Monica...Stay on Highway 1!
Im sure you all have a favorite in your area.
