indy88 Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Hi everyone, Im looking to plan a few roadtrips at the beginning of next year, and thought some of you may be able to give me some insight! I'm open to anywhere in the UK (wales or Scotland would be a good shout as I have never been to either!), also any European destinations -Only caveat at the moment is that they can fit into a 3 day weekend (long weekend) Looking for somewhere with good roads, scenery and things to do in the evening? Let us know any ideas Quote
marzman Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Why not go to one of our many meets? The Wales weekend, the Scottish hoon etc? Sounds like its exactly what you're after. Quote
Ewan27 Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Or you could do like a 350z Forum small meeting weekend! Like 1 day you say I'm going to in Cumbria on Feb 15th, who wants to join me and show me some local roads. Then the next day you're of to Edinburgh etc. Might take more organising, but means your journey will be fun more as you get to meet up with us handsome chaps (and ladies). Have a look at the members map and it might give you some ideas. Quote
Humpy Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Why not go to one of our many meets? The Wales weekend, the Scottish hoon etc? Sounds like its exactly what you're after. Do the Wales weekend for sure Awesome roads, great company and plenty of zeds to drool over. For evening plenty of Quote
brillomaster Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Where are you starting from??? cos if you're in southampton, you wont get much driving in in scotland - equally if you're up north then cornwalls probably not for you. However, wales... just about everyone can get there, and its got some cracking roads Quote
yankeesiter Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I fancy this one but looks like they are a bit oversubscribed at the moment. http://www.petrolheadnirvana.com/torque ... php?t=2576 Quote
jasper350z Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I did Paris then Milan then lake Garda then Monaco the back 2 England I think it was 2800 mile round trip really nice drive some nice motorways 2 gun it on and when you get up in the alps some nice windy roads 2 keep you on you toes I stayed in each place I visited for a few days so took me about 12 days Quote
Ekona Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Lands End to John O'Groats in one day, then tour the Highlands. Isle of Man, just all of it. Best driving roads anywhere IMHO, those two. Quote
brillomaster Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Isle of Man, just all of it. +1 Lands End to John O'Groats in one day -1 Are you mad? Quote
Tinyflier Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Round the m25 He only has 3 days - never make it all the way round in time... David Quote
indy88 Posted November 6, 2012 Author Posted November 6, 2012 Thanks for the tips guys, I will definitely look into it! Tried to log in a few weeks ago as the site was down, liking the new look! Quote
ianphampton Posted November 6, 2012 Posted November 6, 2012 Nurburgring is a nice run, ideal for a long weekend Germany is a great country, too, and if you have any spare time Koblenz on the Rhine is only about 50 miles east of the Ring Quote
ThriftyFifty Posted November 6, 2012 Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) A3 end to end... one of my favourite roads. Or Horsham another one of my favourites. Not sure A3 constitutes scenery and weekend trip... but it's fun Edited November 6, 2012 by ThriftyFifty Quote

JetSet Posted November 6, 2012 Posted November 6, 2012 Isle of Man, just all of it. Best driving roads anywhere IMHO, those two. Isle of Man has no national speed limit outside of built up areas and has some amazing roads and scenery. As long as you you don't use your mobile while driving . http://www.gov.im/transport/highways/roadsafety/campaigns/Mobiles.xml Pete Quote

rothers2901 Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 I remember reding this in EVO (October edition) whilst on holiday. I'm going to do this sometime soon. North Yorkshire Moors 3 roads to take note of. All run North to South accross Heath land. First the A169 from Pickering to Sleights, secnod the unmarked road from Hutton-le-Hole to Castletonalong Blakey Ridge and finally the B1257 Between Helmsley and Stokesley. Where to stay? Dunsley Hall at the top of the A169, the Mallyan Spout, White swan Inn at Pickering or Red Lion Inn on Blakey Ridge. Quote
