Yes, Breasthigh is a fantastic lane. I don't know how many times
I've driven it over the past 12 years or so, but it never fails
to impress.
My overall favorite is Walna Scar Road - sadly now closed unless
someone wealthy fancies putting forward a legal challenge.
Chapelgate and Stannage Edge are also two great lanes which have
been taken from us :smiley-furious:

Its difficult the beat the buttock clenching descent down
Fremington Edge!!
The Northumberland 'Streets' were something special. Drive up
'The Street' - cross the border into Scotland and then back down
Clennel Street. Used to take all day - about 40km of unsurfaced
road with just a couple of miles on tarmac between the two in
Scotland. Sadly NERC killed off the English sections of the
route.

The best one for me personally is Gartree Road down here in
Leicestershire.
Nothing to do with views of technical challenge, but because its
the first one I drove in Ary, my 109" :)
Other than that Stannage was always fun, and always wanted to
drive Strata Florida (Especially as a friend reckons you could
not do it in a 2.5 n/a 88"!!)
xXx

BOOO Dmmy spit. Definitely could. I haven't actually done
Strata Florida on leaf springs myself but I had 2.5 N/A power on
205's and I was following an 88" on those slippery Avon 750's
(6cyl petrol in this case).
