Guys, i could do with some decent road recommendations please. Myself and a cple of pals are planning on doing a run from Kent up to Norfolk, and not knowing any roads ( other than the usual boring main roads ) i'm looking for some inspiration.
so, could anyone from that part of the world let me know of any to avoid, any crackers etc etc.....quieter / smaller twistys would be perfect! thx mark g

The coast road from Hunstanton to Cromer is good. I've not done it in a Seven but have driven it many times in a tin top. I'm sure the locals will know better though.

Avoid the A140 that runs from Stowmarket to Norwich at all costs! Possibly the most frustratingly rubbish road around here.

Whereabouts in Norfolk are you aiming?

Frankly almost any of the roads up in North Norfolk should do, quite narrow and twisty (it's a little bit hillier up there).

If it's the roads getting up here you're taliking about then.... get yourself north of London and get off the main roads and head towards Saffron Walden/RAF Debden (some lovely driving roads around there) then head north east towards Honington (near Thetford). That gives you the opportunity to get on the A11 if you've had enough and head up to Norwich the quick way or head towards Beccles/Bungay and come up to Norwich the pretty way.

its not a good plan to come up the a11 between thetford and mildenhall (the elvedon section) its always slow and boring! If you can find your way to Hethel there is a good (but short) road that takes you past Lotus! even if its just to say youve done it! Theyve spoiled it a bit by adding a 50 speed limit though... If you come up to bungay, then go the country road from woodton through hempnall, over the a140 to ashwell thorpe, then turn right towards hethel, the road past lotus will be on the left - and the road to it ive described is a rather good one too!

I had quite a nice route when I had my bike which envolved ending up at my aunts for a cup of tea! I have extended it a bit at both ends for some really good roads and also finishing at Snetterton as that will be more exiting for you than ending up finishing at my house! (I am only 6 miles from snetteron anyway) Hope the link works!
