I do know a few roads up that way - the A 442 from Kiddeminster to Bridgnorth is fun!
But to go on the twisties all the way would probably take all week!!!

Hehe, wasn't to sure about it to start with but quite enjoy it now..I avoid motorways..
I'm sure we will find some fun roads up there.. just have to stay in your slip stream on the motorway while Matt laughs

So, anyone not from Shandyland coming?
Where do you want to hook up fellow northern monkeys??
I am planning to go via the A roads with turns in them - it is 90 miles from my house
EDIT <map link is crap> Basically -
Baslow>Ashbourne via A515
then Uttoxeter to Stafford
Stafford down to Cosford
So, anyone want to meet up either on this route, or before it?
It is cool, some nice swoops, some flat out hoonage, hills, bridges, cow shit...the lot!
Takes under 2 hrs in a car...so we can nail it on full tanks in an hour and a bit.
