Hardwick Hall Estate
Beneath M1 from Stainsby taking Mill Lane past its historic water wheel house finds one entrance into the Hardwick Estate. Photos after its 2005 renovation show a grand Hardwick Hall, plus its former Hall among grounds that during WWII pioneered the 1st Parachute Regiment.
Exit passes Hardwick Inn and fish ponds to begin following a nerve testing Stanley Lane, where this new bikes handling ability reassured reluctant decision needed to downsize from long distance comfort of a far heavier BMW tourer.

B6036 Kelstedge - Stretton
Переглядів 2126 років тому
The B6036 turns off an A632 cornering The Kelstedge Public House to enter a scenic rural path through Ashover village. This ride continues on until meeting the A61 at Stretton,. although a nondescript fork actually determines where the B6036 ends to finish off joining the B6014 upto The White Bear Public House.
Mansfield Road = Rainworth - Southwell
Переглядів 6086 років тому
Continuing on from Rainworth and leaving the B6020 where it turns off right for Blidworth, finds a quite pleasant rural course into Southwell named Mansfield Road. This unclassified Mansfield Road meanders through Nottinghamshire's Sherwood Forest area connecting attractions plus Newark District villages enroute. Just past Robin Hoods Wheelgate Park comes the one island crossing Old Rufford Roa...
B6020 Mansfield - Rainworth
Переглядів 6506 років тому
This reclassified 2 mile urban addition to an existing B6020 between Kirkby-in-Ashfield into Rainworth adds oddity in having three access points. Its a nostalgic ride from Mansfield off the A6191 in order to complete original course of the A617 from when Rainworth was a popular through road for holiday makers seeking the east coast. A rerouted section of the A617 has since created Rainworth Byp...
A6191 Pleasley - Rainworth
Переглядів 2746 років тому
The A6191 has adopted a 5 mile route formerly taken by the A617, which firstly cut an even straighter path through Mansfield town centre before modernly introducing an inner A60 ring road. From where a rerouted A617 now turns right along a 2004 MARR bypass, the A6191 starts from Pleasley by continuing south east on Chesterfield Road North at a reduced urban speed. Traffic lights feature heavily...
A617 #3 Rainworth - Newark
Переглядів 4436 років тому
Third part covering full length of the A617 from Chesterfield begins where the Rainworth bypass ends at a small roundabout offering village access. Heading onward onto Kirklington Road is where the A617 regains its old single carriageway route to complete the journey into Newark. Its now mainly a 50mph procession after crossing the A614 , but still gives a refreshing ride meandering through ope...
A617 #2 Mansfield - Rainworth
Переглядів 5406 років тому
Second in this three part ride along the full A617 covers Nottinghamshire's newer rerouted sections, also named MARR. This Mansfield Ashfield Regeneration Route opened December 2004 bypassing Mansfield town centre to circle back over the original straighter A617 urban path that reclassifies the A6191 and rather oddly part of the B6020, plus also names the Rainworth Bypass. Traffic seems to flow...

Leaving Chesterfield town centre through Lordsmill Roundabout finds start of a mapped 32 mile long A617 stretching to Newark. After only a few hundred yards, It meets the more recognisable A61 major roundabout through which this Derbyshire section was first given a dual carriageway linking the M1 motorway. Heading onward over Junction 29, the A617 first drops height, width and speed when enteri...
B6036 Stretton - Kelstedge
Переглядів 1146 років тому
The B6036 offers one scenic ride into Derbyshire's Peak District through an historic Ashover village connecting onto the A632 at Kelstedge. Its shorter path begins at a nondescript fork off the B6014, so this ride follows one continuous stretch of dual numbered road from off the B6036 at Stretton, allowing a lead biker to mark junction point where he soon turns off left towards Matlock followin...
A619 Baslow - Bakewell
Переглядів 2156 років тому
Turning off the B6012 from Baslow, the A619 extends into the centre of Bakewell through a 50mph section called 13 Bends. Tightening curves can be challenging, although regular traffic keeps proving more of a problem for capturing a clear ride through nearer the speed limit..

B6026 Alfreton - Huthwaite
Переглядів 6016 років тому
This final homeward run ending on the B6026 is purely for personal nostalgia. I regularly rode this direct route from Alfreton Lido firstly around 1975 by pedal power before getting a moped. The 50cc Honda only just managed some of the steeper hills, and reaching 60 mph national speed limits remained an elusive target even downhill, until a brand new CB250 realised the effortless pleasure of bi...
A615 Matlock - Alfreton
Переглядів 8476 років тому
From Matlock Town Centre the A615 grandly sights the overlooking Riber Castle. Branching roads offer various alternative routes homeward, but this easterly route lead all the way into Alfreton. Oakerthorpe presents the only real junction by side stepping across the B6013, which is where The Peacock restaurant used to be a popular biker stop.

B6047 Melton Mowbray - Market Harborough
Its a fantastic road to blow the cobwebs off the bike but a pain in the ass when you get stuck behind a car or, god forbid, a lorry
Too fast. Public road, not a race track.
COMETARO NO MEU BUNECU #B6386 E DUCAO
Too familiar is this road see it every day
I live here lol
Nice ride. Its been years since I went through Westhouses and Blackwell.
First video mounted on my 1996 Triumph Trophy. Seemed fitting to cover the A617 in 3 parts when riding a triple cylinder 900cc
A15 at Bourne A17 is Newark To Kings Lynn
Thanks for correction
I remember this road I used to travel to Lincoln frm louth every Mon for college its kinda scary wen it snows and at night
Watch the taxi overtake around 1:50. Cursed myself for presumably not seeing a cyclist, until the video truly confirms his lane change was totally unreasonable.
