Having a quick browse round here and I didn't notice my favourite road so I thought I'd share it even though it's pretty famous, it's a road that most people know but many can't find, so I'll make myself useful :p

Ah, one of my favourites for sure - whenever I come up from Southampton I tend to stay between Ingleton and Settle and make a point of taking some time to drive plenty of the local roads.

Last time was about a month ago (when there was the first batch of snow!) and I had a 4 hour drive that encompassed Kirkstone Pass in Cumbria (both ways) and finished with a run in the dark and snow over The Buttertubs (again, both ways) before coming back down Blea Moor Rd (B6255) to Ingleton back to the tent and the pub! Great fun.

Highly recommend this road, but needs to be treated with respect. And if you have a fabia vRS, get 312s!

Here's a link to some photo's I took last year The Buttertubs

This piece of road is brilliant on a dry, clear day. Often after the Buttertubs, I'll take the road from Thwaite up over the hills into Kirkby Stephen, up to Brough and then over the North Pennines for even more stunning scenery.

Agreed! My first visit was in the summer and it was beautiful; my last trip was in the dark and snow - that was interesting!

While in the area include the drive from Hawes over to the Ribblehead Viaduct and then down to Horton in Ribblesdale - or vice versa.

Likewise the circuit Reeth - Tan Hill to the Buttertubs junction. Check out the Tan Hill pub.

I felt the need to drive today, guess where I ended up

*LIKE*

Some nice shots there

good pics looks a really good road for a entertaining drive lol

Crackin road, just round the corner from me.

If anyone fancies meeting up in Richmond one weekend, we can do a little run?
