And the road from Ribblehead to Hawes.

DId about 150 miles around there today, been bloody brilliant.

Love those photos. What settings were these taken to get that effect and are they photo shop processed afterwards?

I There seems to me to be some lightish post-processing to retain detail in the lighter and darker areas. Apart from that, wide-angle and small aperture?

Nearly!

18mm, f8, 1/250 on an EOS-M with kit lens. Small amount of PP, bit of clarity and the detail like you said.

I just hope our trip up there this week gives me some photo ops. Driving makes me forget to stop to take photos!

When I passenger, like in this instance, I shout until my mate pulls over.

From Ribblehead to Hawes...... We met no other traffic, the road was dry, no sheep, no sun to blind us. It was truly awesome. If only that road was fifty miles longer!

I'm looking to do this area soon. I always seem to go to North Wales for a drive, I need to pull my finger out and plan a trip to Yorkshire.

Although the best bit doesn't begin until just past the Langdon Beck Hotel (point B).
More than half of the route from there to Alston is actually in Cumbria.
The county border is at the cattle grid (point C).

All this and more on The Cobweb Run this Sunday 22 Mar 15

Starting at Scotch Corner 10am

A bit far for a day trip. Plus I don't have a Tiv...
Will only have to wait another 4 weeks though.
Part of my planned route to Scotland.
