This one  :y

Three of us do it a couple of times a year, Manta ( me ) ,E30  and Mk2 Escort .
Quite a spontaneous thing usually after a call the previous evening after seeing that the forecast is good we're up there about 6am. A bit more sedate than Mcrae but at that time , deer aside  >:(, you can enjoy the road .
Watching the sun rise up there is a very beautiful thing. Carry on down to Sneem for breakfast and then back along the coast road ,collect the papers ,and home for 10.

Hell ?   Nope , can't think of one ......... ;D

I used to work for an adventure travel company as a driver/tour guide based in Africa and ran 13 week trips from Nairobi, Kenya down to Cape Town, South Africa, in converted Mercedes 1617 trucks.  Depending on the clients the 13 weeks was a blast and would certainly class as my road to (in!) heaven.  :y :y :y

At the end of the trip however, we'd 'double man' back to Nairobi and with no tacho regs to worry about it was non stop!! Provided we timed the border crossings right we'd do the 5000kms on rough African roads in 4 days!! Hard going and at times certainly the road to hell!!!  ::) ::) ::)

My road to hell is all the ones that take me to work, but the bliss roads are the same roads on the way back home :y :y

I reckon hell has to be the A12 for me, particularly inside the M25. Also has to be heaven really as it's normally taking me to a job ::)

High Wycombe to Coombe martin,  1 hour 50 minutes.....    the day after i got married......   1990... 

the only time in my life i have EVER seen the M4 that empty at 10-10.30 am sunday morning.....  (the M5 wasn't bad either)

hopped up sennie,  on full chat....(end of the speedo territory)   passed all of 3 vehicles between maidenhead and bristol.

one of those was a stripey Jag..... reading his sunday paper...      ;)     

oddly (bloody lucky really) decided not to give chase.....    mind you,  the sennie was big, and very white, and fairly recently ex-job (TVP)   and  with 3 aerials on the roof..   (2 phone, and one 2 way radio...  ) ,   all fully legit....     ;D 



(it seemed important at the time.....    the holiday park office closed at 12,  we over slept and didn't a
wake up till 9.45...     15 minutes to get up, pack, load the car....    and fill up with fuel.... hit the A404 marlow bypass at 10 on the dot,  pulled in to the holiday camp at 11.50 to start our honeymoon   (   i TOLD you it seemed important...  )


 :y



My road to heaven though.....

A499 , then B4417   to Llangwnadl.

gorgeous....  great to drive  when it's not full of bloody tourists....    good fast straights....   great twisty bits....   fantastic scenery.

and family & friends at the end of it...


what  more can a man ask?



road to hell.

pretty much everything in south east of england,.

Road to bliss is the A49 from Chester through Whitchurch, Shrewsbury, Church Stretton and down in to hereford. Hardly any traffic and just lots of open and twisty bits :)

Really? Must be a different '49 to the one I know  ;D
