Grantham (Somerby) #1136 Free
Route 1136 covers 19.71 km in about 32 minutes, reaching the rural villages of Old Somerby and Ropsley alongside Cold Harbour, with limits from 30 mph to 60 mph. Unlike the busier town loops here, it has no roundabouts and only five sets of signals, so most of the drive is open country roads.
Watch Out For
- Narrow country lanes near Ropsley Road with limited overtaking and blind bends.
- A give way junction at High Dike.
- A village school area on School Lane where children may be present.
Route Features
- Long 50 mph and 60 mph rural sections with several 40 mph village limits.
- Town turns through Dudley Road and Saint Catherine's Road.
- A return via London Road.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left is set at High Dike.
Key Tips
- Read the road ahead on the lanes and adjust speed for bends.
- Slow for each village limit change rather than braking late.
