On of the back lanes... erm... Can't remember where it was, hang on... MapSource says it was around Ledsham, just before I crossed the A1(M). If you look at it there's a little "heartbeat" thing in the route. I followed it to the letter. Maybe it was the sat nav "having a laugh"
Hey HolmfirthGirl...
In this weather, you wouldn't be able to see me even if I was in Holmfirth. Pretty rubbish this side of the pennines!
You still looking for a lift to The Sun?
No, actually it was me having a laugh lol
Was worried it may be a little "mucky", but I drove it the other evening (very, very quickly lol) and it didn't seem too bad. Plus it it a very picturesque shortcut.
You just need to watch out for tractors parked up immediately after blind bends .... did I mention that??
LOL! Thanks Geoff! Seriously, that route is saved permanently as I'm sure it'll be a corker in summer.
Much appreciated (apart from the presents from the herd!).
You did mention "but be wary of sudden tight bends and very narrow left/right bend in Ledsham itself" - just not the erm... cow... erm... you know!
It really is a seriously good road in summer, shame it's so short lol!
You saw erm ... cow ... erm ... you know? You must have hit it at just the wrong time unfortunately, sorry about that. I have been through there early on a Sunday morning and been made to come to a very sudden halt having met a lot of cows, all full of it!
Come summer (or Spring), if you fancy some company for a ride over to Whitby and fancy using that route, you actually pass within half a mile of my humble abode ... or house as we say in Yorkshire. Actually we don't say house ... we say arse, which can lead to some confusion when inviting people.
What you call your house is your business... I've heard stories about you lot over there
Come the warmer weather, you're on! I'll have to remember how to ride. Yesterday reminded me that 3 months out of action, and then only 2 rides since has really done nothing for "learning" this bike! And I suppose I'm protecting my back still, rather than just going for it.
Was fun though... I'm nearly thawed out!
This is the time to get out fella, crap roads and crap weather really help you in re-learning your bike.
Anyway, I look forward to it and if she's well behaved Roachy can come along too lol
