In 2011, we could only make it up to Summit Lake at 12,830 feet as the road to the top was closed.

Englands highest road over Great Dun Fell ... sadly no longer available to motor vehicles. We were close last weekend JB

Cheers Andrew and Mick, for the updates
Mick, I've done some further research on the above and i'm going to have a better look at it, soon
PS - can we keep it to Britain's Highest Roads and not the USA & Europe

Well done Andrew -Thanks!
Did a couple more last weekend, with a fine group of UKGSER's (we actually did a few more, but I never recorded them, so that means a return trip, hard life ain't it)
No15 - the Great Southern Drove Road @ 614m
and No23 - Hartside Summit @ 582m

Last Friday, I had a short spin and 'bagged' another - No64 Oxnop Scar
Officially 498m, however my GPS recorded 504m at the highest point (the fork)
It is a gateway from Wensleydale, into Swaledale and one road I have done many times
However, this time I took the right fork down the UCR and over Satron Moor, a road I have never done before - I will warn you that there are 8-9 gates to open, so progress is slow, but good
Views of Swaledale, towards Muker were stunning

The left fork, always..................never the right, until now
I follow you, some of the time and you can 'sniff' out some cracking minor roads
Must get out again

Going to have to check Nr 35 sometime soon - looks intriguing but I doubt rideable on anything with an engine. It's not far from me so when you get to Nrs 35 and 50 give me a shout and I'll get the kettle on

Will do
JB, are we considering other roads . I noted that the track/trail above the Barrel at Bretton and Flash Village are both above 400meters

Anything that's passable
Grasshills Causeway
This is an interesting thread!
Just spent the last 3 days doing a trail riding/camping tour of Yorkshire and NE area. Route was based on an Adventure riding feature that was in MCN(!) a couple of years ago.
All I can say is . . . what fantastic trails and roads there are in that region, plus what brilliant weather you've kept a secret Never really ridden much there, so will have to get back.
Anyway, I have yet to correlate our route with these roads, but here is a pic of #6, Grasshills Causeway, taken on Thursday morning (then up to the cafe for breakfast but had to wait for them to open
