Bit of a coincident as i went up Blakey Bank end of Farndale on Saturday, and over the top and down Danby Rigg, then back over Great Fryup Dale. Great Yorkshire names and i have not made them up either, 1 in 25 with grass growing in the middle of the road. Rode my old 1930 Norton, what more do you want. Chimney bank is a sod but i can still do that on my pedal bike and I'm near 61. On a good clear day those roads are some of the best in the UK.

Great Scenery in North Yorkshire, seen one of two bikers caught out on the Chimney, great riding country.
I was on that ride Patrick, but missed Hutton-le-Hole out as when we got to the top of Blakey the urge to leave the route and go over the top to explore was too much.
Had to miss out Hutton as we had to get back to the start for 15.30 as sausage and mash was on the table. Rode back down Rosedale and through Cropton to get back on time. Heard a couple of noisy HDs in morning rumbling through Cropton.
