Aside from the exceptional 29.56 km loop, this 13.55 km route is the longest at the South Yardley centre, running about 31.6 minutes along Coventry Road, Fox Hollies Road and Shirley Road at 20 to 30 mph. It leans on left turns, with nine lefts against five rights.

Watch Out For

  • Nine sets of traffic lights, the busiest signalled route among these six.
  • Six roundabouts, giving way to the right and signalling left on exit.
  • A give way junction that arrives after a faster stretch.

Route Features

  • Nine left and five right turns over a long single stage.
  • Steady 20 and 30 mph limits across residential and shopping streets.

Test Manoeuvres

A pull up on the left is set near the start, so bring the car in smoothly and secure it.

Key Tips

  • The length can wear you down, so keep scanning junctions to the finish.
  • With nine lefts, check the nearside and mirrors before every turn.
