The road going north up to Dulverton in Exmoor used to be an absolute hoot in the works pool car, wide, clear sight lines and lovely cambered bends.

It's the destination that makes it.

Wrong forum. 😋

Any road covered in verglas, or is that just anxiety?

I don’t feel like I’m on holiday until I’ve seen the massive cock.

+1

Climbing up the elevated section of the motorway from Sallanches to Les Houches and then emerging into the Chamonix valley, hopefully with views to Mt Blance, Brevant, the Dru etc.

Utah State Route 24 takes some beating though.

A86 Dalwhinnie to Spean Bridge, for many reasons. It marks the end of the A9 procession heading north. There's the cafe at Laggan Wolftrax. Then the road itself is nicely flowing without driving like a knob - 99% of the time I'm in a loaded up van. Scenery is stunning too. Works well in opposite direction too, escpecially when the view opens out over Loch Laggan on a downward left bend approaching the nature reserve and narrower bit of road.

A87 Invergarry - Kyle of Lochalsh. Similar to above although can be a 40mph procession at times. Returned from Skye along that was last week and a lovely drive apart from the wazzock motorbikers treating it like the mountain route on the IOM.

Smaller scale, B827 road north to Comrie. Nicer option than the main road than goes via Crieff if you're heading for Comrie Croft. Scenic and usually deserted but its knowing you're heading for a decent ride at Comrie that really raises the excitement.
