London - Scotland - Yorksire - London

[AdvocatusD]

Chaps,

Will be doing a driving holiday with a good friend over the August bank holiday weekend, plus a day.

Leaving Friday early morning and need to be back in London, Monday night.

Scotland is the destination of choice, because it is simply superb. We know the roads there well and it's driving heaven.

However, it's quite a trek to Scotland and we'd like to go via somewhere intersting if we can find the time.

I've heard Yorkshire has some fantastic roads and is a place I have wanted to visit forever.

Could anyone suggest a good route via Yorkshire? Also, better to do Yorkshire on the way up or the way down?

Oh and if there is a cheapish track day or airfield day around those dates that you guys are aware of please let me know?

Yorkshire is a big place. For the moors - there are two must drive roads. The Helmsley to Stokesly road and the blakey ridge road. These are magnificent roads and if you link the two - not really possible on a north south journey as they form a loop - offer two very differenyt driving experiences. Perhaps to do one up and the other down.
