Mitchy said:Could be up for this one, if you fancy a trip up to Hawes up through Grassington/Kettlewell or up to Ingelton and across to Hawes [B6255] then back down to Ripon via Middleham then finish up at the Sun Inn at Otley.
Not been out since my 4,000 mile Europe trip this Oct, cars just had its Inspection 2 service, full valet and 3 stage polish and just itching to go. This is one of the best drives in the country and Skipton is an ideal starting place weather permitting????

Which one? there's so many!

Firstly Sunday looks to be the best day, looking at the weather forecast sun/showers
Secondly If we could meet at the riverside cafe {Otley} instead, us early birds could get coffee while waiting to see if anyone turns up!
Route If we sick to the main roads they will be clear and salted.
A65 Otley, Skipton, Ingelton, Devil's Bridge {coffee}
A683 to Sedbergh /684 Hawes if possible we can do Butter Tubs pass /Cross Top fell. Dinner
Back home via Leyburn, Middleham, Ripon and onto Sun Inn pub topside of Otley
Distance around 130/150 mile can shorten at anytime if need be
Plan B If roads are bad on the high ground
Otley, Ripon, Helmsley, Malton, Stamford Bridge, Tadcaster then Sun Inn
Suggest meet 8.30 for 9.00 start
Well there you go, let's see if we get any takers :wink:
