It's quite a tight lane on the way to work and the side of the road has literally crumbled away in a couple of places. I happened to be at one of those places as something was coming the other way
It's quite good fun going along here at 60 until you come up behind some pillock doing 20
I reckon I'll only have put about 8k on the car by the time I've owned it a year.

It is pretty good apart from the edges.
You can easily fit 2 cars down there but some people seem to think they have to slow down to almost a complete stop along it
If you head north and then take a right on to Perrinpit Rd there are a couple of quite good sweeping corners you can take full pelt as well

Working out how what time to leave. It takes me an hour and 45 to slough, so an hour 45 from slough to you would be 3.30 hours.
Plus google is 70 mph isn't it ? should be able to shave 45 minutes off that

Do you have the pain off about an hour on roads where you know you will find at least 5 tractors and a horse ?

Mike, from your door (or least where I think it is) to the church google reckons 202 miles and 3hours 39 minutes
40 miles of that is the A12 and 140 miles is the M25/M4 though

40 a12 miles is easily done in 30 minutes
M25 is about 60ish if my memory serves me correctly, of which 5 is limited to 50 and thereon as is good, m4 is pretty clear (or was last time I went on it) so yeah like you say 9am should give plenty of time.
Heck I did the 230ish miles from matts to mine in 3 hours.... All at legal speeds

It's only 300 miles
I think I've worked out everything I'm getting Laura but I'm struggling to find anything for the girls to get her
They've always got her Tuskers ornaments before but none of the ones I've seen have been that nice
