Any road I havent driven on before…at least your not passing the same old things
Before all the restrictions you used to be able to park in Balls Pond Rd and walk along Dalston High Rd to Cook’s, not bad pie n mash in there, not bad for North London anyway
Since when did Northerners know how to do Pie and mash correctly?
see that big river (Thames) God put it there for a reason , to keep the good and great South of the river away from the great unwashed

Westmoreland Rd, London SE17, home of the best pie n mash in the world
I was there today funny enough. We are running material in to the new places built on what was the heygate. Il take a picture for you next time I’m over there.

I used to enjoy the drive along the vale of neath before they put the dual carriageway in.
You can still do most of the old road from just after Neath to Hirwaun.
One of my favourites in the car has to be the A832 in the Highlands. Wide open, long sweeping bends, excellent visibility etc. Spoiled now by the view of traffic cops with cameras

Bulls round things best Pie, Mash and Liquour (with available truck parking) was always Mansies on Jamaica Road ( just before it became Tower Bridge road)
now that shows my age
well that i,m not sure about but my great Aunt lived in Jamaica Road but my best trips were to Wick from barking also from barking to penzance with 2 twenty foot boxes from some place called the Philippines. but the 1 one that had the hairs on no it wasnt to rotterdam in a day cab marathron it was a naffi shipment to devonport , let say in 1982

for me the best road i have driven in a truck in the uk is the scarborough to whitby plenty of twists and turns great scenery if its nice too!
That’s me too - but the other way round, from Redcar to Whitby and Scarborough.

…any Trucknet members from that area on here?
Yep! I like driving all over East Anglia. Because I get to visit loads of different farms all over the East, the driving tends to be a bit more technical compared to schlepping up the A14, or any motorway, only to sit in an RDC waiting to be tipped.
But I appreciate it’s a case of different strokes for different folks!
penrith to hexham over hartside a bit iffy wintertime and through alston, or alston over killhope down through weardale,gods country i am a bit biased as i lived up there,but now living in shropshire, driving around this county and into mid wales comes pretty close.
