Drive Wrynose to Harknott. Then Corney Fell.
The BNFL lads take Corney Fell at over 100 mph.

Someone once told me there was a Tescos at the top of this hill...



I didn't find it.



I've been looking ever since...in several cars...still can't get my shopping in, though.

The best stretch of road I've ever driven...from the Cockbridge-Tomintoul road over the Lecht, in the Scottish Highlands.
Billiard table smooth, little traffic...and some properly challengingf corners. Great.

Or if you really want to go for a decent run, Blairgowrie, over glenshee to Braemar, head towards Ballater, head for Corgarff, on the Cockbridge-Tomintoul road, then enjoy some of the best roads in the UK once up in Whisky country.

Very true, but I don't think that little gem is bugged as yet.

The sheep are the biggest problem.

We have no speed limit here.  Every true petrol head should take a trip to the Island.  Even if just to visit Clarkson's lighthouse.

Glasgow to Loch Lomond and then on to Crianlarich up to the Green Welly store turn left across Rannoch Moor through Glencoe and onto Fort William, Spean Bridge and onto Inverness cracking drive even better with the snow lying around.

Swaledale is always a favorite, the road from reeth to leyburn or hawes, but just mind the sheepies, those swaledales are dreadlocked nutters!
