Thought I'd go crazy yesterday. Was a really nice evening, and had a bit of time on my hands, and thought I hadn't actually driven my car, just for the simple pleasure of driving, for ages. It's usually just to get places.
Anyway, about 20-30 minutes from my house, you end up deep in the Peak District, via a drive past Alton Towers (the roads near there are pretty darn good). Anyway, the Peak District is just an enormous maze of quiet lanes. I got hugely lost, but it's all good fun. Some great roads up there, and a good way to test your car, as it there are some really steep inclines, and mini 'passes' over some of the hills. You can't drive very quick due to the width of the roads, and if you bin it, you'd be straight through a dry stone wall in many cases. But some of the slightly bigger roads have some great sweeping bends and things on, I was chasing a Chrysler Crossfire for ages, much to his annoyance (shouldn't have bought such a shite car mate
)
Anyway, just a few phone pics, not too many cos they didn't come out too well. If you ever come up here to Alton Towers or anything, take a detour, makes Norfolk's lanes look boring as anything!
Roll on summer and a few trips up there
