Britains Best Roads
Not sure if this has been posted here before, but something reminded me about this site i saw ages ago, hopefully it has a lot more info on it now.
I know a road is better when no one is on it, so submitting your favourite road could ruin it, but you might as well share the wealth.
Especially for us young drivers who dont know the really good roads

You will have to go a long way to beat the road from Lands End to St Ives along the coast. It is usually traffic free, fantastic views and most of the
corners have positive camber after an improvement scheme about 15 years ago when they tried to stop the number of cars disobeying the 'shiny
side up' rule in the middle of the night. very often the cars would be found 2 days later buried in heather and bracken!
Look for it on the map, 20 miles of uninterupted fun

Just have to agree with Mark,but why not carry on after St Ives/Hayle and keep on going past Hell's Mouth,etc??? Unbeatable

A road i heard about is is the A1040 from the somewhere off the A1 up to thorney, where the Tiger Factory is. I think i got it off the tiger owners
website.
The first time i went up, it was raining and there are lots of tight turns through villages, kept on locking up and sliding into the corners! Not
clever.
Anyway that road goes through a St. Ives, not THE St. Ives though.
What are the chances!

We found a great road by accident on the way back from Le Mans!
We got lost coming out of Poole and, well I know we went through Salisbury, don't know the numbers, maybe one of the shandy drinkers could fill
us in.
Great road, not many petrol sations tho!
Cheers

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!
