Although an East Anglian born and bred, I have not had a chance to venture up much to N Norfolk. Going there next weekend so would appreciate any recommendations of good driving roads (hoping for decent weather!) near to Wells/Hunstanton. Many thanks in advance.

I'm not an expert on that area but as you say 'Looking forward greatly to participating in more Pistonheads events and meeting as many people in the community as possible' you're very welcome to pick from the PHEA events at www.phea.co.uk and let me or Ian V know which ones you fancy coming too

I,ll second that invite John !!

Not to sure of the roads around that area either. Depends what your looking for in a road I suppose, the coast road from Wells back round to Hunstanton is very twisty and not a particually good surface if I remember correctly, but it is quite a nice drive if your in no hurry.

Try the B1146 from fakenham to East dereham its very nice to drive fast and flowing in sections if not to busy. also try the B1105 from wells-next-the-sea to the A148 at Fakenham its very good fun also try the B1464 from Heachem Near Hunstanton to the Tatterset turning on the A148. Its again fast and flowing got some tight corners and always a pheasent or 2 to avoid. one other road i would say drive is the B1110 from Dereham to holt. Its agin good fun if you can get a gap big enough to enjoy it.

Not sure about the Lynn to Hunstanton road. It's a good road, but ALWAYS so busy, it's impossible to make good use of it!
Same goes for the roads leading into Norwich, or around Cromer.

I second Mark4gti's suggestion about the B1105 from Fakenham to Wells. It's a great road and not too busy. If you're on it first thing in the morning, it's empty
Been down in the Ultima a couple of times last year, very good fun, although it is a bit up and down.
