Make it even better by turning on to the B197 and going to Cuffly, I do it a) when I'm bored, b) to cut to the A10 without the M25 or A414.
Bl00dy nice drive.
MAte of mine had a smash on there once though, there are some blind crests on the b197, and he found a stationary car over one

The road from Twyford station to Bracknell is not too bad except when you have to follow some muppet at 25 mph round all the corners.
