You've got to try some of the many MANY country lanes....thats why I love the twisties....
I personally like the set coming out the back of Chigwell, heading towards Abridge then up towards Theydon Bois and on to High Beach.......anyone else use these??
It will be well worth the tanks of petrol once ABW have done their thang....

However - there are lots of nice roads around that area, so it's pretty easy to enjoy yourself!
