I'm not too familiar with Kent as I'm originally from Lewes/Brighton area. There's one outisde Maidstone that gets good after some long boring straights. It even has a humpback bridge that gives you serious 2 wheel air, even at fairly low speeds! Good fun but not for the kwaks sus!
The A267 is one of my favourite roads though. If you follow it from Tunbridge Wells to Five Ashes, then turn off (right) onto the A272 and follow that to Buxted where joins the A22 on the Uckfield bypass. Alternatively, stay on the A267 past Heathfield as it is a lovely piece of road that goes on and on.
So Basically:
A267 - Awesome road that has very, very fast sweeping bends and some wicked elevated chicanes etc. So fun to ride.
A272 - Pefect for 400 as it's twisty and tight enough to never let you top out.
A22 - has some amazing roundabouts and some have recently been resurfaced so can be taken very fast; as either chicanes or switchbacks.
Hey zxr_oli, do you know the roundabout by Buxted/Burger King? I wish all our roads were surfaced like that!
