Steph and I were glad to get out in the Zed this weekend. Seems like an age since we were last out (about a week :lol: ). We headed for some roads we'd read about in a couple of driving magazines to check them out for possible future runs and fell in love again with the incredible landscape of Northumberland. It feel so remote and ancient, unspoilt and vast. Just have to turn off the main roads and you head into hidden valleys and hamlets and simply following the main arterial routes takes you to some brilliantly open views.

Just love being out in the Zed :thumbsup:

I keep going on about it but I prefer the wheels when they are grey with road muck as it makes them less noticeable - I still prefer the OE look of multi-spoke silvers. (Though if you haven't read before these are also 27kg lighter and that's one of the reasons I thought I'd try them).

Those roads look very inviting Paul - good to see the two of you out and about enjoying the driving :driving:

Thanks Marlon (I know you're a fellow enthusiast for getting out there :D ) - the beauty of Northumberland is that there are routes that can really test you at licence friendly speeds (lots of challenging twisties - we've got some brilliant roads) and then beautifully remote and quiet back waters to burble through and enjoy. All fabulous with the roof down :thumbsup:

Yep, it certainly is beatman - we call Northumberland our playground (literally on our doorstep) - it's vast and as said above, offers a great range of roads. :thumbsup:
 
Looking forward to the drive on these roads whenever it's happening! :thumbsup:
Have missed meeting up with other Zeds last 3 months or so! :(

Hiya Swiftly, hope you and Lorraine are well :thumbsup: No stumbling Nick - we headed out to see what one or two recommendations were like - lovely quiet roads but a little limited for our type of run . . . .we shall see.

My wife's family live in the centre of the Fens - long straight single track level roads with lots of subsidence :lol:
