Does, anyone have any suggestions for fun roads in the berkshire area, worthy of a trip out in the BEC?

Newbury to Wantage over the downs. Was a superb road. Used it many times on bikes just to ride it and blow away the mental cobwebs.

Lots of other nice twisties on the Oxfordshire side like Wantage to Uffington.

PMSL....honest Howler, Cheers Mike, it would take me about an hour to get there in the first instance. If anyone has any other recommendations, it would be good to here them.
Cheers

Craig - Where are you in berks?

Around Swallowfield is lovely - loads of twisties and good views too.

Good call on the Wantage road Mike - It's lovely and you can often see for miles (cough - nice to overtake with...)

Depends where you are really? Towards Hampshire is lovely and not far either. Kingsclere is great for a drive out towards Whitchurch (Hampshire Whitchurch)

Cheers

McLannahan, I am in the Crowthrone, Bracknell, Sandhurst area of Berks.

the swallowfield looks good, I assume it is on the B roads rather than the A33?
