Hawes and Buttertubbs
With restrictions relaxed slightly and the weather being so nice I gave work a miss a got out to give the Zed a warm up before the run season starts. Started over on Rishworth Moor then headed up to Hawes and onto Buttertubbs Pass for a picnic lunch. Weather was superb and roads were very quiet. All in all a great day out.

Hawes and Buttertubbs
I will be up there myself this weekend the 1st pic over the tops into Hawes is a great route out of the valley from Kettlewell / Buckden
"Buttertubs" itself is on the road north of Bainbridge isn't it ? Named after holes in the landscape that resemble butter tubs
Pic 4 is a good stretch away if not mistaken taken on Cragg Vale ? Some great roads up there
Pic 5 Ribblehead , turn left there towards Horton Ribblesdale & you have the most perfect 6 or 7 mile of fast twisty tarmac to enjoy

All correct. I took the left down into Settle, then up past the station and down to Sawley to join the A59. Had lunch just past the Buttertubbs storage holes on a bench looking out towards Thwaite and Keldmr wilks wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 7:37 pm I will be up there myself this weekend the 1st pic over the tops into Hawes is a great route out of the valley from Kettlewell / Buckden

2 more great roads to try if you haven't already are the high ones from Askrigg to Muker & from Garsdale to Dent station , not the best in terms of flat out driving but both leave a lasting memory if you get on them in the right weather .

Some stunning scenery there OP, and empty roads - no wonder it was a great day out!
And a much better idea than working.

The roads look great up there for driving, looking forward to experiencing them first hand.
