Route to Clacton-suggestions please

Hi Essex'ers

Im leaving Peterborough Friday lunchtime (yay!!) to ride down to Clacton and want to plan a decent route, not in any real hurry to get there so id really appreciate it if you could suggest some of the nicest roads to get me there.

Thankyou, KJ xx

if it was me, I would avoid going to Clacton, but if you must this is what I'd do. Blat the 1st half then go through the lanes.

Best of luck,

hello KJ can i be the last to say happy new year ... lol .. not sure how to get maps up on this thing,but when i go to the midlands every month or so , i always come down what used to be the a604 .. its half a dozen road names now , but the route is straight forward ..basically turn off the m11 at duxford A 505 to the A1307 .. turn right to linton , and then scream round the haverhill by pass, flat out ( allegedly :P )
Then take the A1017 to sible hedingham,then just as you come out of sible , hang a left to halstead down the A1124 with a HUGE SWEEPING BEND on it ..into halstead go left and right on the mini roundabouts and head to colchester .. after that ,there s not really a fun road to clacton , but you ll probably be funed out by then

lmao ... there ya go , a map while i m farting about writting it ...

Thats briliant guys, exactly what I was after, thank-yoo

Oh and Paddy, I'll make sure I ring the RAC in advance so they can have their guys ready
