About 6 hairpins and not eveybody enjoys this slow tight manoeuvring. alternate route is Boundary Rd Pennant Hills and regroup at Round Corner.

Watch for cars at the shopping centre. Always busy here. Can be precarious if you are too trusting.

Turn right at this traffic intersection but be wary of the fast moving oncoming traffic

Turn left at Annangrove Road, a busy little roundabout.

Be wary turning right here as it is a fast section of road.

Turn left into Nelson Road

This brings us onto Windsor road , now upgraded as at April 08 to a dual carriage way with a wide divider and an 80kpm limit. Very good road.

Look for the McDonalds sign and turn left.
Groves Road now takes you onto a 70kpm elevated roadway as a bypass into Windsor. Crosses Macquarie and leads onto richmond road ( (40) but is not marked on this map yet. This map shows the traditional route. We take the Groves road turn off

Follow route 40 signs to head north west

Overhead planes can be distracting

You see Mcdonalds on the left and the Richmond railway station. Turn right onto March Street and follow route 40.

The start of Bells line of road. 60 kpm zone

Watch out as this a 60 kpm zone and a fixed camera
lurks going up the hill to catch drivers in either direction. Pleae keep speed down as you will only get a frontal photos but there is no sense in upsetting the authorities about missing out on revenue.

There is a cafe called the Orchard Cafe. It is on the right soon after we see the Biplin sign. Stop here for coffee.

This is the home of the Zig Zag scenic Railway.

We will come home much the same general route but at Kurmond we will turn left and go through the back of Richmond to Windsor then onto Windsor Road. We can stop in windsor for a break
