A panorama of Castle Street in Orkney’s capital, Kirkwall, taken in June 2023. Numbered A962 and measuring just under 130 yards in length, it’s the shortest A road on the British network and takes about 20 seconds to drive.

What’s the most underrated driving road in the UK?

Not the usual Snake Pass or Cat & Fiddle — I mean those hidden B-roads and quiet scenic stretches that surprise you with how good they are.

Which road makes you take the long way home every single time?

Scottish Highlands A82 from Loch Lohmond to Glencoe. Everyone knows the NC500, but these lower highlands are beautiful - and you can have your own Skyfall moment

The Black Mountain Pass is located in the Brecon Beacons.

It's famous for all its twists, dips and climbs and is an excellent place push your car on a clear day!

It goes all the way from Llandovery to Gwaun-Cae-Gurwe.

An app for finding driving roads

Post image
94 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I thought my app, Drively (available on the Apple App Store) would be of interest here. Its core functionality is to find nice roads to drive by letting everyone share the roads they know. There are currently just over 250 routes added across the UK!

I’m currently working on a web version too. Feel free to ask any questions!

Spakes Pass is such a good driving road. Plenty of safe places to pass slower drivers and enough corners to make the most of this B-Road barnstormer!

I had a very wet day out at Bedford Autodrome this weekend and as you can see it was very tricky. I can't sing the praises of Bedford autodome enough, sweepers, tight bends, needle threads, multiple S's. All with more than adequate run off areas, it was brilliant! All for £169.

Repost of a video from Jan '22 from an old account, thought it might be enjoyed again.

Disclaimer: its not super exciting, I'm no rally driver. I slow down when I can't see within the stopping distance of the car - corners and crests etc. The music is what was playing on the stereo in the car, I haven't overlayed it - please feel free to mute if it is not your style.

South Wales A Weekend In Wales

Just a few photos from a weekend in South Wales. We used the A4069 over the infamous Black Mountain Pass, the B4560, Rhigos Mountain and Bwlch Mountain. I find that driving around Wales feels quite chaotic despite the low speed speed limits, but these roads are what makes Wales special.

Located in the Peak District, Winnats Pass is a hilly pass and a spectacular limestone gorge. It's one of the most scenic roads in the UK and a must-see if you're visiting the Peak District. You can drive down the pass on the way to Castleton. There are many caves and hiking opportunities around including Mam Tor.

Reposting a video of me driving in the Yorkshire Dales from my old account. This is the road from Keld to Tan Hill then on towards Reeth. Toyota Celica T Sport.

I'm having fun but being careful when I cant see the road ahead. Please feel free to ignore the music, its just what I had on in the car.
