Hello again!
This would be that more appropriate thread I was thinking about when I mentioned such a thing in your "waterlogged" thread ![]() I must admit that I wouldn't have though of Bedford as East Anglia (I'd hav labelled it Home counties - Herts, Beds & Bucks) but it makes porbably the most sense of the regional forum choices. I think I've been along to the Star & Garter, if that's the one on the Kimbolton road. Saw no SVs though. Roads I took from N'ton weren't so hot, but looking at the map I think I need to get a little more adventurous and creative with my route. |

Like many roads, the A428 from N'pton to Bedford is great when it's clear, but can be as boring as sin when it's full of traffic.
2mths, if you want a more 'interesting route' head out towards the Queen Eleanor roundabout and take the backroad to Newport Pagnal. Hang a sharp left before you get to the town and head towards Milton Keynes - before you get there head out towards Woburn Sands. Then you have a chioce of the 'short way' through Ampthill and on to Bedford... ... or the 'long way' out through Clophill, Shefford and then back towards Bedford. Hey - I never said it was a direct route. ![]() |

Cheers K
I'll have a look at that. The first section is the B526 I know that VERY well. I'll try to have a look at the other roads. I had heard tale that there were problems with youths deliberately putting diesel on the roads near cranfield to practise their drifting. I don't know how true that is. By the looks of it though the roads you're talking about are probably far enough away to be ok. I have been led out there a couple of times but had no idea where I was going and some of the roads we were supposed to be taking were shut leading to random diversions. |
