With the sun shining, I decided to saddle up and explore the North Yorkshire Moors this afternoon
Views were stunning, in this glorious Easter weather
These trails are on the edge of Sutton Bank, very dry and easy to ride
Helmsley, even the roadsigns are quaint
Just out of Helmsley, you can ride up into Bransdale..............a little known Dale, tranquil and virtually devoid of traffic and Easter tourists
What a view
It's a long way down
Next was over Bransdale and up onto Rudland Rigg (an old drover's road that links North Yorkshire and Cleveland) which goes on for about 15-20 miles
Fabulous views
Rudland Rigg, being so long, is regularly bi-sected by other trails which lead to over valleys and Dales
At this cross-roads, I took a right turn and head down Monket Bank that leads into Farndale and Hutton Le Hole
Steeper than it looks in the pic
All about Bransdale
Finished of by Fish and chips in the Easter sunshine @ Helmsley................another cracking day
