Ignore the arrow. My favourite bit of tarmac at the moment is this great piece of road that runs from Corhampton golf course to Jnc 10 of the M3. There are some great roads in this area but this one is the best of the lot. Its got a real hairpin, a couple of 90 degree bends and some good swooping dips and hollows. Best of all its generally quiet. Its the sort of road where you get to one end and just turn round and go back and do it all again the other way round.

My avitar comes from one such trip where I’d stopped and sat for 5 mins with that silly grin on my face! 

Strangely (or perhaps not!), Autolink are about 2 mins from the Cornampton end, and the club meeting point - The Milbury’s, is a couple of miles to the North. 

Does anyone else know this route or any other gems in the area?

Moved to “Great Driving Roads” to spread the word!

I’m sure your assumption that I cant work out where to post my messages was made with the best of intent, but is it possible I might have posted it there for a reason - ie zero activity on the Solent Area section of the forum??? Any chance it can be put back to where it was intended to sit?

oops. I’m sure it was moved with all good intent, if its thats good to drive then go and repost it in t’other forum…    I won’t tell…!!    [:D]

 The 272?

No, I think it’s called the Morestead Road. I love it too, I go out of my way to drive down it to get to the Milbury’s on a club night. It’s definitely one of the best roads in the area.
