FAO Jagsy:-
Which Moors Visitors Centre? the one at Danby or the one at the top of Sutton Bank????
If it is the one at the top of Sutton Bank, and please do not think I am interferring in any way - this is ONLY a suggestion, may be meet up at Stokesley Market Place (very easy access from A19) and then use the B1257 between Gt Broughton and Helmsley. Various car mags have voted this one of the best driving roads on UK. I can vouch for this if the traffic is fairly light.
As I said this is only a suggestion as I am more than happy to fit in with what ever is planned
Regards
Iain

Don't think you are interferring, thank you for the advice. It is the moors centre at Danby. I've tried to do a direct route with scenery and roads, but no do too many miles 'cos fol coming on Saturday will be swamped out with driving. I think I'll do the route you mentioned (again) before I leave though.

Thanks for clearing that up, the road I guess you are using is the Blakey Ridge Road, which allowing for sheep is perfect for the big Ro!
See you at Danby, I know it's lazy not going up to Washington, but having a young family - it'll allow me to spend the morning with them (only generally get Sundays off) before travelling nearly a whole 2 mins to the meet point - by the way the Moors centre car park is pay and display - the robbers!
