Memorable MG Routes MMGR01 - Newbury to Castle Combe along the old A4 For sheer driving pleasure, the A4 at times of relatively light traffic, takes a great deal of beating. In many places the road is open with long sweeping bends and occasionally you can still see the characteristic "three lane" feature so familiar from an earlier motoring age. There are many places of interest along the route from country houses and estates to ancient stone circles and mounds together with some enticing refreshment stops. (1.9.07) MMGR01 MMGR02 - Milford (A3) to Goodwood along the A286 through Haslemere and Midhurst Through the quiet roads of Sussex and sleepy villages, bustling small towns and over the downs by the Goodwood horseracing course to the airfield at Goodwood, it is a route which never ceases to be a pleasure. Lunch on the veranda in the sunshine at the Goodwood Aeroclub is a welcome prize for an enjoyable MG motoring day. (15.10.07) MMGR02 MMGR03 - Great Shefford to Hook Norton This route takes you from Great Shefford, close to J14 on the M4, up the Lambourn valley, over the Berkshire Downs and then across the Vale of the White Horse via the historic market towns of Faringdon and Witney, skirting east of Chipping Norton and finally dropping into the quiet lanes through Swerford to Hook Norton. Lunch at the Pear Tree at the entrance to the lane leading to the Brewery is a pleasure after enjoying the visitor centre. (7.3.08) MMGR03 Atlantic Coast Express Route Route to be released in the next few months Invergarry to the Kyle of Lochalsh by Loch Shiel The long hill up from Invergarry has the reward of the views over to the Rough Bounds of Knoydart and then the route winds through the hills until you reach the spectacular mountains seen as you drive the route along the shores of Loch Cluanie in Glen Shiel, surely one the most beautiful of the accessible glens. Route to be released in the next few months |

More Series will continue A key feature of this series is contributions are welcome from members with their own memorable routes. So suggestions for additional routes will be very welcome.
