Hi folks,
I'm planning to give the barge a stretch of its' legs (and mine too) with a run up to and around the yorkshire dales later this week - planning to be there for a week or so.
Any recommendations on where to go whilst up there - never visited before - heard it's nice up there though ;)
-
Where are you staying?
Are you driving around or doing some walking as well?
-
I'm going to use just B&B's - have got a couple of guide books, one which has walks only - the other has a couple of 70-odd mile drives too, which will be handy for when it rains ;D
Hoping to be mostly walking rather than driving though ...

Now see, i would have said the opposite. ::)
-
well - if the weather up there is like it's been down here the last few days, then I probably will be mostly driving!! ;D

The weather is always like that up here. Well, almost always. There are usually three days every year when it doesn't rain. We call that summertime. ;D

Yeh try the road to lancashire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Would recommend you try Clapham, just north/North east of Settle, try the Clapham Inn, Proprieter Keith and his wfe; excellent place, roads are good for driving, and the area is good if you fancy walks or caving, you can also try the national park caves, reindeer cavern (which I worked on a few years ago).
If you do go there just tell Keith Mad mick recommended, himalayan trip.
-
If you start around Settle or Clapham you can do one or all of the 3 peaks, have a look at Malham cove and walk over the top to Goredale Scar and return to Malham via Janet's Foss. Move on via Kettlewell to Hawes, have a look at Castle Bolton then perhaps move on to one of the northern dales for a change in character, say Swaledale, stop at Barnard Castle or even Richmond.
If you get a wet spell then take a trip over the Settle to Carlisle, its a dry way to see the scenery and the missus can do a bit of shopping in Carlisle.

Or, you could stay at home and watch under siege 2.
close call if you ask me. Cultured huh? ;)

well I suppose after popping one screen you might need to watch another ;D
plenty of DVDs here ... but I fancy reminding myself how grim it is up north ;)

thanks for the info ...
Mick, I can't find "Clapham Inn" - but I did find a "New Inn Hotel" (http://www.newinn-clapham.co.uk/index.html) - is that the one?
Matchless - will be taking that info with me and probably pop over to Carlisle anyway ... ::)

Steady now Gents, they don't call it Gods country for nowt tha nose ! All of the previous advice is spot on and I should know cos I live here (well very nearly) !
You will find some cracking roads around too but whatch out for the A65 from Skipton (past Clapham). The feds have an Impreza (couldn't catch my Hayabusa though). ;D

Apologies yes it is the New inn at Clapham, the only place there to stay at, its OK though. Good food, reasonable prices., Sometimes stop there on my way back from Scotland when i have the time. First saturday of the month is always busy there as all the pennine club cvers meet up, get in with them at stay at there lodge from a couple of quid, on bunks, and self catering. ;D

On a more on topic note I always used to enjoy the run back home over the 59 out of Harrogate, past the big golf balls. Could get the tacho off the dial down that hill in me old Bedford.

Spot on Captain. A quality road. I spend a fair amount of time up there on the bike.
