Hey Fellas,

I'm thinking Yorkshire may just be a great place to have a quick spin around in.

I was wondering if anyone can suggest particular roads or areas where we've got some spectacular views, great roads and banter things to do. Going with some mates - in mid sept. Anyone is more than welcome to join us, will be staying in Leeds as a central point.

Any roads or particular sites to see which are a must in Yorkshire would be much appreciated.

Thanks again

Thats a lot of information - cheers fellas.

Basically I've split it up into Sat and Sun route - Leeds is our central point. Sunday we will be driving back to London.

Here is a route I've managed to create. What do you guys think: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/Moorlands,+Ilkle...

Thanks ashcroft999 - I think on the drive back to London we need to do the snakes pass - can't find Holme Moss on Google maps.

May try do some of the tour de france routes. Any of you would like to join us?

Bob I'm going to try and do the Buttertubs Pass - only 5 miles, definitely worth it. Red Devil - I was going to find the Tan Inn as it sounds like an epic place to have lunch.

I've been thinking - being so close to the Lake District it would be a shame to miss it out. I've decided to split the long weekend up into two main days of driving. Day 1: Leeds - Lake District and Day 2: Lake District back home.

Now the problem I am having after doing much of the stuff suggested on this post - like Hawes and Ribblehead - I can't seem to think of a good way to get from Tan Inn to Lake District. Ideally I would like to avoid M6. Any suggestions.

Also had a quick look at Wrynose & Hardknott Pass - it looks far too small to really enjoy, more for the scenery. Any places anyone can recommend.

Thanks - again, if anyone wants to join us just drop me a message!
