Dawn Drive, A507, Hertfordshire

From an unassuming start, crossing the A505 dual carriageway, the Weston hills on the horizon only give a hint of what lies ahead. Rising slightly the first section winds you in gently, alternating between smooth crests and undulating cambers. There is even a decent straight which allows for clear-sighted overtaking in case you catch a slower moving car or two. Climbing past the Cothall turn-off, you can stretch out the Seven over the long righthander, really a rolling double curve, and then drop down through the jink left. A short straight then carries you into the first real complex set of bends… Seven Drives is for all those drivers who just love to drive – especially those fans of Caterham or Lotus cars. Time spent behind the wheel, either solo or with mates, can broaden horizons and expand your world view. I have taken the conscious decision to let the driving do the talking.
