Perfect evening for a run out

[moribund]

Thought I'd make the most of the sun, what a gorgeous evening to be out with the roof down!

Living in Yorkshire has some benefits

The bit north of Pateley Bridge was new to me, very scenic but too narrow for hooning.

Wish my gearbox was back in my TVR
I've been missing it for 3 weeks now

Some of my favourite countryside.

Go up to Scar House Reservoir sometime (if you haven't been before) - near Lofthouse
My Grandad lived and worked up there (while it was built)
and used to take me up there a lot as a kid and let me drive his Hillman Stilleto

I usually like coming back down through Coverdale for some even more impressive scenery
although as you say - most of the roads are not suitable for a hoon

Nice pics btw

Cheers

Cheers for that. Just checking the map - is there a way to do a loop to Scar House then Coverdale as it looks like the roads (tracks!) don't meet up?

It's certainly an area I'd like to explore, I don't know it all.

Great pictures. What a summer we have this year!

Lovely Job.
Still want to take a our up on the offer of a ride out after work, and I'll get you a brew at Squires!

No there isn't a loop over that way

I go over from Lofthouse to Masham as you do then head left towards Leyburn but turn off before Middleham
and head towards Coverham.

Once on that Coverdale road there is no where to turn off until you get to Kettlewell.

I am doing a TVR run out over there soon so may post on here if anyone wishes to join us

BTW - we have been doing quite a few joint events with NYLOC (North Yorks Lotus Owners Club) recently

Here is a pic of Coverdale

Trickie - that looks lovely! I ought to join NYLOC actully.

Snotrag - if it's sunny and I do something similar again I'll drop you PM

[BenGismo]

Wow...those photo's

Looks very very nice....

This just makes me want to join another hoon while the weather is still good for us.

We are blessed with some great roads in yorkshire and its only right to go try them all out.

[benjj]

Wife and kids away for 10 days so I can do an evening hoon any time.

[moribund]

Mmmm... well Wednesdays are good for me at the moment, shall we see what the weather does?

I could be at either Pool/Otley for the Dales or Clifton Moor for the Moors by 6:30 at a push.

Left work at 7pm, home for 10pm yesterday.

[moribund]

Thanks for the comments re the pics by the way, was just lucky with the light. Can't go wrong really.

[Trickie Dickie]

Happy to join you guys sometime

but don't think I will get my car back for another week or so :-(

Here some more pics to keep me going





And one going the other way into Lancashire recently



Cheers

Inspired by this thread I fixed my fuel gauge, and went for a run out last night at about 9pm.

Did the tunnels on the A58 from Elland road into Leeds.

No roof, just a t-shirt, in the dark, fairly quiet. Was good!

[Barry38]

These are the kind of pictures and road trips you can only do here in the UK.

[moribund]

Glade - was that in the Westfield in your profile? Awesome!

Barry - yes it's nice to get away from the commute and remind yourself it's not all cameras and jams

[Glade]

Yes! Woke up at 0615 this morning and went for another drive... again, only round the city, Harewood, Poole, airport and home.

City when it's empty is quite strange!!

[benjj]

When I lived in London we used to do an occasional 5am Sunday morning run through town.

Loved it.

[burriana]

Up for an evening run Ben, I finish work at 7 and go straight out. Great little pub at Timble, have you been?

Might even persuade one of our guys with a Cupra to come along... if he dare

[benjj]

Yep, will up for that. Tonight, this week, whatever.

[burriana]

Tomorrow night looks good weather wise.
