You certainly picked a belting day for exploring the back roads 8)We had a walk with the dogs up Rivington/Winter Hill this afternoon...wall to wall sunshine ! Hopefully might get out in the Zed tmrw afternoon. When your coming back if you fancy a good route I can recommend going to Hawes in Wensleydale (over the Buttertubs Pass again ?
) and then take the road for Gayle/Kettlewell. This is fab over the moor top and down into Wharfedale. You can follow this down to Grassington and stop off at ruined Bolton Abbey. Then you can pick up the A59 back to the M6.
Took the road yesterday from kettlwell to middleham. Stopped at the top and had a walk to the top of the moors. Views were spectacular and weather was fantastic. Think I'll try that route of yours today. Any excuse to have another go over buttertubs. Looking forward to Scotland, not long now
Nice one ! Middleham Castle is spectacular. Enjoy the road if you go that route today.
I'll call you in the week re next Saturday. Have fun !
Thanks for the tip. Took that route today. Bottom of the valley out from near kettlwell was busy but a lot quieter further up. Went over buttertubs again then took the road out to Kirby Stephen. Wow what a road. Hardly any traffic and when we did come across a vehicle they just pulled aside and let us go thru. Lovely road from there down to sedburgh too. Just under 500 miles the weekend car performed perfectly. Look forward to a good summer.
