Memorable
MG Routes series
This is the first Memorable MG Route in a new series lanched in the revived Safety Fast! This route is from Newbury to Castle Combe along the old A4 through Marlborough, Calne and Chippenham. 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) |

| A
new series called Memorable MG Routes has been launched Memorable MG Routes are not simply about the tactile pleasure of driving the road, particularly in an MG, but they are also about the interest along the route from the views on the road, places to visit, sights to see and of course refreshment at tea shops and pubs! 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. A note with guidlines for the style, content and format of the Memorable MG Routes series is available. More |
