Cruise ideas for the Spring

Post by Deano1712 »

I'm thinking of planning a cruise for March or April and fancied a change from my normal routes in Yorkshire that I have used for the last 5-years. Sooooooo I'm looking for ideas...I dont want to venture too far south so the options are maybe Lincs or Derbyshire. We need quiet roads so the latter worries me. Anyone got any views on good territory for cruises, nice roads, routes or lunch venues? East Yorks is another option. We could take in the coast with that or Lincs (fish and chiop lunch :) ). The other option is to head north in God's county and do Buttertubs. All good.

Lincs roads are great but Plods red hot on speed most roads are 50 max,and they look for you too!

Spokey used do some cracking runs towards that area, so might be worth asking him for any pointers.
I looked at a Lincs route for my lot but like mentioned it seems to be a area that's got some great but heavily trafficked roads- and a love of scamera.

However , I'd join you :)

Count us in Mark,
Out of Otley The B6451 to Summer Bridge ,Pateley Bridge,B6265 to Grassington,cut over to Settle B6479 TO Hawes and then over the buttertubs to Kirkby Stephen.(never done it but up the B6276 middleton-in teesdale to Barnard Castle) and then whatever. Or just a cruise over the moors and fish/chips in whitby.

I may be doing a run with a reason. To see the BBMF or chasing a steam train (I did this once from Nottingham to Carlisle :D ).

It's a personal thing, but I prefer to have a reason to drive other than just to turn O2 into CO & CO2 - but I'm still happy to join you on a cruise.
