look forwards to seeing you philhunt88, 
Market Place Town Centre, Thirsk YO7 1EY
0900 meet up leave 0930 sunday the 5th august,
the route is 140 miles, half of the route is pretty slow due to the twisty roller coaster of small moorland roads, and villages, though coming back is a fair bit faster on some good twisty
A roads, and wider moorland roads.

chimney bank steepest road in england
on the back road between Rosedale Abbey and the village of Hutton-le-Hole is Chimney Bank, Britain's steepest motorable road at 1 in 3, or 33%. Plenty of roads have 1 in 3 signs, but this is the only genuine article
Almost certainly the steepest section of road in Britain, Rosedale Chimney Bank is often included in the Tour of Britain as it is a true 1 in 3 climb at one point. Go south from the village of Rosedale Abbey. The climb is immediately steep - a sign tells you youre about to tackle a 1 in 3 hill. You encounter a cattle grid which doesnt help matters, after which the road hits 25% on the first corner of a switchback, followed by the steepest part of the climb (33%) - a very steep second corner and unforgiving section after it. The climb then relents to about 20% before easing off to the top (view of mines on your right from a car park area) and on to the vast expanse of Spaunton Moor.
The Rosedale Chimney Bank is situated in North Yorkshire . Starting from Rosedale Abbey, the Rosedale Chimney Bank ascent is 1.47 km long. Over this distance, you climb 175 heightmeters. The average percentage is thus 11.9 %.

Sounds good. See you at Thirsk! Cheers.
I see that some of the organisers have already recced the route.
Does anyone have a GPS route they would be prepared to let me have ?
I have a friend coming over from the States in a few weeks and we are intending to cover the Lakes , the Dales and the NY Moors.
Any contributions will be gratefully received.
