Ive got a bit of a break away from uni work and am wanting to drive my mini more. I was wondering where people would recommend going, what their favourite roads are and anything else related. Looking forward to your responses!

A537 Cat and fiddle, out of Macclesfield towards Buxton.https://en.wikipedia...and_Fiddle_Road
The A54 which joins the A537 up on the moors and goes back towards bosley and Congleton is a nice road too and could make for a nice round trip from/to the m6. Nice cafés in Buxton for lunch too 
Watch out for 50mph average limits on some of it.
Have fun

Sounds like a great road! Would love to do a bit of road tripping around Wales at some point.
