Grantham (Somerby) #1149 Free
This Grantham (Somerby) route runs 20.46 km in about 38.1 minutes, one of the longer drives at this centre, reaching out to Harlaxton and Barrowby. It spans a wide 30 to 70 mph range, so it includes proper national speed limit roads alongside town driving. It has 3 roundabouts and 8 traffic signals.
Watch Out For
- The 70 mph stretches where you build and hold a safe speed, then plan to slow for junctions.
- Three roundabouts, giving way to the right and signalling left on exit.
- The rural lanes out toward Grantham Road with limited overtaking room.
Route Features
- Starts on High Dike and heads west via Springfield Road.
- Country section through Harlaxton Road and Rectory Lane.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left near High Dike, with full observation before stopping.
Key Tips
- Match your speed to each changing limit, the gap between 30 and 70 mph is large here.
- On narrow country roads, hold back and read the bends before committing.
