Off on a road trip .....

[Adrian]

As of 7pm Tuesday night I have 8 days off work. Going to do a mini road trip up to the Lake District and North Yorkshire Moors, then across to Scarborough. Just a 3 night job. Taking the camera, plenty of money for petrol and hoping for decent weather.

Anyone got any recommendations for good driving roads? Had a look at the driving roads section and a couple have caught my eye. Going to do Buttertubs and the surrounding area (although my brakes are really close to being shot).

Cheers

Well, done 668 miles so far in 3 days. Currently in Scarborough, heading home tomorrow. Hoping to be there for gp qualifying. Lake district was fantastic with some epic roads, as was north yorkshire moors with buttertubs and tan hill. Will do a report some time when I get back!
