big ben 10 Posted August 19, 2009 well sunday looks like its going to be a nice day, so im getting up well early for a good drive :grin: just wondering if anyone knows any good roads for a good thrash, i live south east, but willing to travel around for some good roads. I know there are some goodens around northampton from going to some shows, long bypass roads that are empty :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mic_VR 3 Posted August 19, 2009 A6 to Rushden, then B645 to St Neots, then south on A1(M) for two junctions to meet up with the A421 to Bedford. B645 in particular is a good road but be warned that Bikers love it as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
big ben 10 Posted August 19, 2009 :salute: will look into them!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mic_VR 3 Posted August 19, 2009 You could also go on the A6 to Rushden, A45 to Wellingborough, Then A509 to Newport Pagnell - Good road if it's empty, then Chicheley (sp?) to Bedford. I grew up in that area so just trying to think where I used to go out and about. Never really used to go north of the A45 very often.... I'll have a more indepth think....

vwdeviant 0 Posted August 19, 2009 If it a good day Sunday then stay away from main routes to the coast... even early it'll be a mare! B-road blasts FTW! B4011 Bicester -> Thame great bit of raod, as are the ones up in the chilterns, past Chequers... only issue will be Sunday drivers! Gey up at 3am and go, you can be finished and home by 10 and miss most of the plebs! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
big ben 10 Posted August 19, 2009 yeah, thinking 5am get up and go, few hours and back for breakie 8) so instead of the A41 maybe i will give the B4011 a try Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vwdeviant 0 Posted August 19, 2009 Where's your start point Bennie? You could make S-Wales ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
big ben 10 Posted August 19, 2009 start point is Biggleswade, south wales might be a bit far this time around, maybe september time i will venture out that way and get some nice photos!! where was you thinking? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy 0 Posted August 19, 2009 this is what i have so far.... A1 north of my house B645 A6 to bedford A428 to northampton A45 around northampton A43 good roads if i remember rightly?? M40 A41 then cut back any way possible home :lol: I used to live in Blunham, surely Biggleswade to Upper Caldecote, Ickwell, Northill, Cople into Bedford ? Then, Bromham, stevington, Carlton, Little Odell, Bozeat, Castle Ashby, Cogenhoe, Houghton to Northampton. And back along the B645. In my opinion, A45, A43 and M40 are boring !!!!!!!!!!! Ok for putting your foot down, but not a good drive !!!! Have fun, what ever you decide. I will be watching the Grand prix :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
