A66 to reeth-lowroe-askrig-buttertubs amd tan hill

[bobdylan]

Set the alarm this morning for 6 , filled up and shot off alone .
Wow turning off the A66 towards reeth WHAT A ROAD it's like something from a game , lots of jumps climbs the Forrest peaks on the moors then miles and miles of visible empty road descending the valley .
Took some fantastic short cuts little one lane no marking roads after that that were like mini rollercoasters to low row and then another too askrew , then across to buttertubs pass then left till you fine a route too tan hill that takes you all the way back too reeth , tan hills another crazy road too experience.

Definitely goings to do that again

My favorite road in England is the other side, the B6277 but yeah there are loads around.

I was over that way the other week , the Bolton Abbey to Reeth road gets a tad narrow in places , let's say the brakes were getting a bit warm at times ....

Bolton Abbey (Wharfedale ) to Reeth (Swaledale ) road ? As in Kettlewell- Redmire etc ?

That looks like an excellent morning out!

I go to Tan Hill quite a lot, its a great area for roads and scenery. Some of it is a little too bumpy for the Z so you can't go flat out on some of it but its still hilarious fun. Must be epic in a Caterham!

[avenger286]

Should all have a meet up and drive out !

Lived around Richmond for the last 20 years, did Buttertubs for the first time in the spring, now been over it 4 times this year. Nice chippy in Hawes as well, just closed on a Wednesday...
