All you Northerners.....
« on: May 15, 2012, 11:42:38 am »
I'm going to be in Lancaster for a meeting on Thursday, then I'll need to cross over to Durham afterwards. I think it would be rude to not go through the Yorkshire Dales, so could any of you recommend any good driving routes through the Dales??

if you do happen to go near skipton keep a look out for a Evo X complete with orange ar$e and blue lights hiding around some tight bends  :fighting:

Personally, when I go towards home (Co. Durham) I go the M6, A66 then A67 towards Barnard Castle then Durham - more direct but much of the same roads, although probably a little less rural for some of it.
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)
