Military Road up in Northumberland just for the 'roller caster effect'

Best bits trying to get four wheels off ground at same time while leaving balls and stomach behind. :lol::oops:
Oh yes! About 15 years ago I got my E reg 1 litre polo off the ground on that stretch!
 
pork pie and a pint said:
The road that starts at Foxglove Garden Centre, in Chester-Le-Street, going towards Pity Me is immense.

Anymore?

Oh and the jump at Whitemare Pool, ya kna the one.

It's immense when there isn't a bastard cop car with speed gun waiting around the corner while you're doing 60 in a 50 zone...bastards!!!

If you want to take off you can try the A68 between the A69 and A696. There's 3 steep peak and trough hills in a row. There's a couple of roads in Yorkshire too, one near Kettlewell where there is a hidden humpback bridge and one dropping off the moors towards Pickering. Had 2 cars take off on them, neither on purpose I might add :evil:
 
The best road for a drive is from the A69 to Alston and down to Penrith. it is sublime.

Usually do THIS preferred route, when travelling from Washington to Pooley Bridge, camping.

Slightly longer and slower than the bland route me mates all take. But we prefer it and get there 10 mins after them, Max.

Still prefer the Weldon Bridge - Rothbury ride, that I mentioned earlier, by a f***ing mile mind.
 
Spuggy's bridge on Lukes Lane, is not the original "Spuggy's Bridge" it's just in a similar location to the original and inherited the name.

Spuggy being from Sparrow - as they used to nest there in the thousands many moons ago.
 
I did the road from the a66 via tan hill into hawes today...


Sublime

that is a nice road, as is the road from tan hill back to richmond. turn left at reeth heading for barnard castle is very good as well.

my favourite is going down silent bank on the a181 towards durham where you first see the cathedral. never get tired of that stretch.
 
The coast road from Roker to South Shields.

Good shout.

If you turn right you hit Buttertubs which is immense

Here's another which has just sprung to mind too - the Blakey Ridge road from Kirbymoorside across the North York moors.
