    recent travelled around the highlands, went up and around fort william from dundee then across to loch ness absoulutley stunning, shame i was in athe alfa, loch's were flate cam roads bone dry, and sun was out, truly awsome.

    twists and turns and superb flat roads with no bugger living up there they get no use lol. And not a bottle or can of irn bru in sight!

    the road from Hawick to Carlisle is very nice. had to drive it for work last year.

    there are loads in Wales, around the Elan Valley is nice too.

    scoff had a video somewhere from my last trip around wales

    a back road from just south of bala to lake vyrnwy

    not the fastest road in the world and only single lane

    but i think most people had fun on it
