Lovely Route.
Watch out for the Devils Elbow downhill hairpin just before Wiveliscombe when heading East.
Done the Bampton to South Molton bit, wow ! I that direction it's a great gradual climb, TT esque, new road surface, trafic & fuzz free, magic.
twistyI travelled this route 2x a week in the 1960's, in my Mum's A30. It was then still the A361 - I remember a very sharp bend near Bampton, I think where the road crosses the Exe. I'll have to ride the route, now I'm a rusty rider!
unluckycolourblueWhat I liked about this route was the lack of villages and general lack of tourist/police interest.
WightyGreat way in and out of the west country for bikers. The Emmets (grockles) don't know this route and it's a lovely sweeping swooping biker road. It's not as spectacular as Dartmoor or Exmoor, but a great way to get west avoiding main roads and tourists. It's good right through Torrington and beyond.
guzzilemonThis road is better riding from South Molton to Taunton as the corners gradually open up.
