Oh, you can link in much much more than that.... can easy do 150+ miles of fantastic B and C class driving/biking roads off those two alone. Can feel a 'Hunts Hoon' coming on for the spring. Maybe starting from Chelveston on the B645 (which is Northants )

Might do it on the bike

Did this roadthrough the offleys and kimbolton on the way back from Huntingdon Sunday Lunchtime, great road, good sightlines, pretty ggod surface. A bike started to play, but got left behind on the twisties. To his credit he didn't use the villages (where I always slow down to the limit) to catch me.

Let me know when!

might have been from blackpool, as I think I saw it pulled over a little later, with the rider poking around in the technical bits?

Steve, I know those roads well

I see from your profile that you are in Rutland and there's me thinking I'm the only PHer in the county!! Whereabouts are you (I'm in Uppingham)? I've done many happy hours between Melton / Harboro / Stamford etc

In the Spring/Summer I'll be doing another Rutland Rumble taking in some of the roads you have mentioned - the last one attracted approx 60 cars

Take care on the entrance into Kimbolton from both ends and the section between Gt Staughton and Kimbolton - good hunting for bike plods on sunny Sundays

Cracking road though and the B660 from the Beds border up to the A1 near Peterborough is just as good with less traffic. I have run out of brakes twice in the Saab at the north end!
