This single-stage route covers 7.2 miles in about 37 minutes through Brooklands, Baguley, Wythenshawe and Timperley, with speed limits of 20 mph, 30 mph and 40 mph. It is on the shorter side for distance among the routes from this centre, yet it takes a similar time to many longer ones because of its many turns.

- 12 left turns and 13 right turns, so plenty of junction decisions.
- 2 roundabouts: give way to the right and signal left on exit.
- 7 traffic lights, fewer than at most routes from this centre.
Route Features
- Roads include Stockport Road, the A560 and Hope Road.
Test Manoeuvres
- Practise a pull up on the left near the end of the route.
Key Tips
- Check the limit on every road, as it changes between 20 mph, 30 mph and 40 mph.
- Plan your signals early, given the 25 turns in total.
