Guest Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 any idea of route? are you thinking Devils, Kirkstone, Ullswater, Penrith, Hartside Cafe.. what about the route back, as you head for Leeds... could do with some new roads,....

techno Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 I originally thought alston..middleton in teesdale /thwaite etc but didnt know how long it would take hence my other thought of just heading back down the a6.. dunno really never thought i would make it that far Theres a road out of thwaite i have never been on but all seems to lead to a1 so am open to any suggestions!

Guest Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 theres a road out of thwaite that we have been on....... namely buttertubs... you planning on that back to Hawes.... otherwise the other road, i'm led to believe heads towards Leyburn, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 just spoke with Matt (Jade Mongoose), the road Thwaite to Leyburn is .....S......l......o......w.....he suggests going via brough, kirkby stephen, sedbergh, devils, and then the usual back to skipton..

techno Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 Right lets see 2 choices if we go to hartside then we go alston middleton in teesdale then brough, thwaite hawes skipton we dont have to hit thwaite as theres a road b6259 to garsdale head then hawes cuts the corner so we miss sedbergh and buttertubs.Or if we dont go to hartside we cut back down the a6 to kendal then go a684 to sedbergh hawes etc. Both are long runs so we can decide on the move as we see how long its taking both have stunning views cos want to get some pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
