Up Gorge Road and turn right at Corkscrew.

Give it heaps up the hill.

Right at Montacute and then back to work.

Real fun at lunchtime - I work in Newton

Magill - Old Norton Summit Rd - Norton Summit - Lobethal Rd - Ashton - right onto Stony Rise Road - Woods Hill Rd - right onto Greenhill Rd - left onto Mt Lofty Summit Rd - Crafers - Waverly Ridge Rd - Upper Sturt Rd - Hawthorndene - Shepherds Hill Rd - Flinders Uni

Thats how I used to get to uni every morning. Took exactly the same amount of time as just going directly across town.

Plus it makes a good run if you double back at Crafers onto Picadilly Road to Summertown, Uraidla, then either take Greenhill Road to Balhannah, then motor along to Lobethal, or take Greenhill for a bit then use Deviation Road to get to Lobethal Road to get to Lobethal, then cut across back down to Gorge road, which gives you the option of following Groge to the bottom or cutting back up Corkscrew and either going right on Montacute to get back to town (watch for the sand on those corners down the bottom) or left to take Marble Hill Road back to Summertown or the bottom of Greenhill Road

When I was in Adelaide a couple of weeks ago, I had about 2 hours spare time (finished my work early) so went up Green Hill road, then up Mount Lofty Summit. You guys are so lucky. There is a LOT of nice, twisty roads followed by awesome views and it only takes 10 minutes from the city centre.

Pity I was in a Holden Viva automatic. That thing was a piece of sh*t.

When going up Greenhill Road you can stop at the Uraidla Hotel for a pint or two of Old Speckled Hen

*saves the above directions as waypoints into my TomTom* Thanks for that Adam

Ahh my old stomping grounds

I made it door to door from uni (flinders) to home (mt barker) in 22 minutes, not taking the freeway (back of crafers -> stirling etc etc) And that was in my 120Y wagon!

The MX would be ridiculously quicker

I think i was doing it in just over 30 mins from Magill to Flinders in the morningswithout being silly and in sh*t morning traffic from Crafers onwards.
