Sounds like a good route. I am back offshore now so looking at possible routes on Google maps

I managed a couple of more good runs before coming back to work.
Briefly: Harrogate up to Hartside cafe via alston. Down to Penrith over shap (great road) kendal back through the dales home.
Harrogate-Whitby via Scarborough then through Egton Bridge over the moors (single track road) to Rosedale abbey. Up the Chimney pots Kirby motorised then head back to harrogate. Just great roads and great weather.
I was making Cheese on toast the other night and had a "lightbulb" thought. Cheddar cheese. I will do Cheddar Gorge :745:on one of my trips. Stay over a night or make it a 2 night trip.
I was looking at the Ponderosa for maybe my next trip home. Maybe have a lay over somewhere.
