Lets see if we get more pretty ones than dull ones. I dont know any pretty ones I live in London. (Although some have yellow, red lines and other painted notices.

A20 from Charing to Ashford, at one point you have the most wonderfull view on the North Downs

Whenever I go to Edinburgh, I turn off the A1 just after Newcastle and go up the A-something-or-over through Ponteland, over the tops and down through Jedburgh and Dalkeith. very picturesque views, but lots of speed cameras too once you cross the border...

Even so, the A1 through Northumberland is also nice, as is the A77 below Glasgow - You drive right next to the sea and get to see seals bobbing up and down as you drive.

How about a flower arranging club as well or interior design. THE list could just go on and on. Mind you some of you might get followed home.


BE HAPPY

Country roads take me home .... Crisp spring morning, roof down, mellow exhaust note, B3135 over Mendip into Cheddar gorge, return through burrington combe past the rocky cleft which inspired 'Rock of ages'...... Blimey, the Mendip trenta miglia or thereabouts !

The old A 19 is a good road for the views as you head up to scotland.

I hear/read London roads are full of pay or pi## off one's, is that true, ?

A329 from Ascot to Virginia Water, very pretty. Although that maybe just because it's a whole other world from the scummy concrete council estate I call home!

Yeah, dont go south on the A19, you'll end up in Bentley, Doncaster. Not good And it ends now at 2 of the busiest roundabout junctions in Doncaster.

The M62 is a very interesting road. The huuuuge bridge over the ¿Humber? is pretty spectacular, and you have to marvel at the imagination of the engineers who designed the road. Some nice scenery between the A58/¿M606? turnoff and Manchester, especially where the road splits to go around the house up there.

The farmer refused to budge, so they built it round him....!! That is the story anyway, but the truth is it was done for engineering reasons: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M62_motorway

The boatman was my Greatgrandad and the little fella in the sailer outfit was my grandad, the irony is that the picture of the grave yard shows the spot where my greatgrandad is buried.
cool huh?
