Absolutely brilliant stretch of road...........pic. doesn't show the gradient of it but if you want to test yer brakes for fade, then this road WILL do it.......bloody fantastic!!

There's a road sign at the beginning of the 'drop' stating NO CARAVANS. Last time I was there some numpty towing a caravan was poised to drive along it We informed him that he would be very foolish to even try........he didn't in the end.

I suppose the question now is there going to be enough accommodation.

If anyone is travelling from Yorkshire then the way to go is via Skipton and Settle on the A65. Fantastic run up, far better than the M62 and M6.

I'm on holiday in Devon for the first two dates, so unless I leave the family for a few days, which wouldn't be a popular move, the October date is the only possible one. Even that would be a challenge as I'm away from home most of the week with work, so being away at the weekend as well doesn't go down well with the family.

If I could get a weekend pass, or take the wife and kids with me (tricky in an E93), the distance isn't an issue, and I'd love to visit the Lake District.

I look forward to a run up the A65. Hopefully the farmers and the Sunday drivers won't be out that day 'cause that road is notorious for its lack of passing areas, especially between Settle and Skipton.

Sometimes speed isn't everything, Carlos. I like the way my car drives in the twists and turns at even moderate speeds and don't need to go pell-mell down the road. Sometimes getting there later can be more fun.

Agreed. Slow and steady can be just as good as hard and fast. Rhythm Carlos.
