Yorkshire Dales run & lunch Sun 27 Oct '13

[Minty]

The recent North Wales run led by Hoyle was a great success so we hatched the idea of doing a similar thing in the Yorkshire Dales. Anyone who enjoys N Wales should enjoy the Dales too.

Sun 27th Oct is the chosen date so that anyone SORN-ing their car from Nov can take part.

Suggested meeting point and route are as follows:
* Meeting place: 10am at Sainsbury's at Bamber Bridge, off J29 of M6 just S of Preston; postcode PR5 6BJ, it has a café open from 9.30am

* Route: off M6 at J31, head east towards Clitheroe, up through the Trough of Bowland via Slaidburn & Ingleton, B6255 to Ribblehead & Hawes, then over to Kirkby Stephen, Appleby & towards Penrith. From Penrith a return trip up the A686 to Alston which is one of the UK's top ten driving roads. Maybe include Ullswater & Ambleside in the route back south.

* I suggest the lunch location is best left to moods on the day, influenced no doubt by bacon butty intake at Sainsbury's café.

* The full circuit back to J31 of the M6 is approx. 220 miles - let me know if the general consensus is for a shorter route.
