Sun 20th - Another Stunning Rideout in Yorkshire Dales

[JohnnyBoxer]

Following on from Andy Mullin's offer to lead a rideout yesterday, I jumped at the chance

Andy set off from York, with Chris on his 1200GS and Steve on a GSXR 750 and another guy (sorry forgot the name) on a Fazer1000

I met them @ Masham

We were nearly outnumbered on a GS run by a Yamaha and a Suzuki

From there Andy took us up to Leyburn and over Grinton Moor to Reeth and onwards to Tan Hill.

The weather was truly glorious

After a quick drink at Tan Hill, we dropped down to Thwaite for lunch @ the Kearton Inn - which was very good

After refuelling at Hawes we were down to Andy, myself and Steve on the GSXR750

I led from there - up over Garsdale Head to Dent

Then to Horton in Ribblesdale/Ingleton and onward to Devil's Bridge.

After an icecream and some ogling of a Triumph Rocket III with a Turbo we headed along the A65 to Clapham and Austwick to Helwith Bridge.

We then proceeded over the fell tops to Arncliffe Cote a simply awesome road which is little used, before coming down Litton Dale and saying our farewells @ Kilnsey Crag

The weather was good, as was the company - respect to Steve on his 20006 GSXR750 for braving GS type roads

Shame it was so short notice and few Yorkshire GS types turned out

Next time I'll give more notice

How comes they don't get a bolloking then

Sunny

Was not that sunny this time last year, when I had to ride through floods, rain and fog to camp at Tan Hill for the UKadv rally there.. still was a great weekend despite the quantity of water about..

Putting the tent up in the field across the road was fun mind.. lol..

Looks like you got a crack day there. Will have to try and make it out that way again in some sunnier weather as it is really lovely scenery.
