Without a doubt one of the best roads Ive ever been on (it was with the Motorbike although in the car would be just as Amazing) ....is from Settle to Hawes.

Go through Settle (from Skipton side) and when you go under the train bridge then turn right onto the B6479 Langcliffe Rd then eventually take the B6255.

JAW DROPPING......You WILL be stunned  :happy2: Guaranteed!

I did the Keswick road about 3 weeks ago, didn't give it a full blast as I've still only had the car a year and don't want to haha!

But I certainly had fun! We was playing rugby there so had the joy of driving up on my own (was running late so missed the coach haha oops!) so had a run up there and back.

Wish I had a camera!

Evening all, Just got home from our trip, the weather wasnt up to much for high altitude driving but I managed to get up the Kirskstone Pass today before heading home which was a great drive. Had a couple of stops for sheep on the road so glad I wasnt pushing it.





Had a stinker on Friday and managed to carelessly do this:


However it could have been a lot worse.... I was parked in this space when I got to the hotel but decided to move before parking up overnight....



I count myself real lucky! Aparantly a Beemer was written off with the tree thats cordened off.

I also proposed to my missus saturday down at Tarn Hows and she has agreed to become Mrs Tanner! God help her! :P
