English Country Roads....
... not motorways, neither A roads, nor even B roads, I'm talking about the lanes here. Those roads that are just a tarmacked track! Love them, absolutely love them!
Nothing better than going 70 miles an hour, in a small car, along roads where you can't see over the hedgerows, are windier than an afro and if you meet a car coming the other way, one of you is going to have to reverse to find a passing spot!
The real fun is the cornering, like being in a rollarcoaster car (well this small car is more like a glorified golf cart!) and making wheeeee noises as you go round them, absolute pure adrenaline fun!
Also very beautiful.. especially where the lane is tree lined and they're meeting over the top, like a latticed arch with the sun coming through the leaves and the awesome colours - even more so just as the sun is low on the horizon and you have that lovely golden pink tinge splashing through.
Though they can be rather scarey late at night, and more so in the winter with the trees leafless, the headlights stopping at the hedges, outlining the skeleton like trees and the odd animal's eyes reflecting back at you as you go buy. Just as well not walking them or I'd have to keep checking that the headless horseman wasn't coming!
