low road to: high road
Ok i know this site is dedicated to scratching and for me a blast on my bike can be for a number of different reasons so if you want a selection of different types of road then i can reckomend the highlands of scotland.Ok so the road surfaces arn't always the best,look out for sheep,deer and grit on the roads as well as caravans in the tourist season.However even in the tourist season the traffic levels are nowhere near that of the south.IE out of the highlands :)And for you foreigners ie,English,Welsh and Irish :) then if you get as far north as Inverness then the fun is only starting.Take the road to Ullapool and up round Cape Wrath past Dounreay to Wick and then south to Inverness.The scenery is awsome,the journey is a test of skill and endurance and there are some REALLY good corners to get your knee down as well as some terrific straights and some majestic view points which will take your breath away..When you get back to inverness get a B&B and in the morning do the trip again.:) The only real bad point is the weather.Be prepared to get out the waterproofs.It is still worth it though.GET NORTH NOW.
Bonar Bridge to: Lochinver
The A837 is an A road which is single track with passing places - it could only be Scotland! Narrow, excellent twisties and a superb view of Suilven for miles and miles. Stop at Lochinver, chips or afternoon tea for the more civilised and prepare yourself for the next bit - the road to Ullapool via Stac Pollaidh. Just unbelievable. At times you can get up to a terrifying 50 mph - briefly. The twistiest road in the world. The scenery is awsome - lunar landscapes and primroses which you can admire closely when you run out of road. And then the mountains. Stop and climb Stac Pollaidh - it's worth it. Ride this road or die unfulfilled.
Kendal to: Carlisle
My favourite road in the whole country - I go to Scotland a lot from Burnley in Lancashire, but it never really feels like I'm on my way until I start climbing the A6 out of Kendal towards Shap summit. The rest of the run from Shap to Penrtih and then to Carlisle is mainly flat, but the road is in good repair with lots of sweeping bends to get your knee down on. No police presence (never seen any, yet) but a few villages along the way. It's pretty easy to average about 90mph from Kendal to Carlisle though!
Glendalough, Wicklow Co.Wicklow Ireland to: End of Wicklow Mountaoin Range
If your over in Ireland head out of the Dublin City towards Wexford, N11 and take the well sign posted routes to Glendalough ( the road is crap but it worth it when you gewt there) on arrivig at the village follow the road out to the lakes (very well sign posted) and about 1 mile out there is a right turn to a road called wicklow gap. The Wicklow Gap is a 22 mile road set in the beautiful Wicklow mountains and is fairly traffic free, it consists of brilliant straights hair pin turns and best of all there is little or no traffic. Check it out - If any of you out there have toured Scotland I certainly appreciate some advice on good routes cheers Neil
