Wellingborough #1688 Pro
Running 18.0 km in about 37 minutes, this single-stage route reaches Church Brampton and Harlestone along with Kingsthorpe, Spring Park and New Duston. It is the only route here without a 20 mph zone, starting at 30 mph and rising to 60, and it has the most left turns of any route, 15 against 7 right.
Watch Out For
- 15 left turns, the most at this centre, so mirror and signal work is constant.
- 60 mph rural roads out to the villages.
- Only 6 roundabouts and 7 sets of traffic lights.
Route Features
- Harlestone Road carries the long rural leg to Church Brampton.
- Welford Road, Harborough Road and North Western Avenue handle the town sections.
Test Manoeuvres
- Expect to pull up on the left during the drive.
Key Tips
- Keep a steady routine through the run of left turns.
- Build speed smoothly for the 60 mph country roads.
