Been meaning to take a look around here for a while but haven't had the chance. Took the initiative today and what a day.

Added bonus was the road it was on was 20 miles of fun.

Shame the weather wasn't better/ the car wasn't clean but took some pics anyway.
You can actually drive right up to the viaduct but I think it would have destroyed my suspension.

Nice pics, did you do buttertubs ?

I have no idea

Buttertubs is a bit further North, towards the top of the York Dales - I think it's the area up between Hawes and Thwaite?

 

[montana]

Yeah it is, good stop off point at the viaduct before tackling the triangle.

 

[Chris]

Looks good mate! You will have to come on the next forum outing round there!

 

[Rick]

I know I ended up in hawes at some point. I'm based in south Manchester so don't know the area at all just drove up there for an adventure.
Let me know when the next outing is!

You probably did it without knowing, pic below

Yeah think I may have sampled some of the area accidentally. I'll have to go back just a shame it's not on my doorstep

I think I recognise that bit, the road bends to the right and drops quite steeply and then bends back left and up again. I remember I was carrying too much speed and didn't quite realise how sharp that bend was. The Clio handled it well, but was it was way above my comfort level haha!

It's just a little bit before the cattle grid and the small monument? Views are pretty epic there;

 

[montana]

Yeah that's it , I have plenty of pics in my project thread too

Nice photos, the roads all round there are brilliant. The road that the viaduct is on, from Ingleton to Hawes is immense. Done it twice in the last two weeks! Buttertubs is a pretty short stretch, but a lot of fun either way.

Will look into arranging another drive out in the area, maybe after xmas sometime.

Yeah that is the road I did went one way then turned in hawes then back the other way.
