South of the A64 - talk to me...

[giveitfish]

I hear there are some good early morning driving roads south of the A64, between Selby and Beverly?

I know the NY moors and Dales pretty well but am looking for somewhere new for a run.

Anyone happy to share recommendations?

Thanks!

The Wolds have some lovely driving roads - no especial recommendations but try a route from Howsham (a few miles off A64 , south of Malton ) and drive via Leavening , Fridaythorpe and Wetwang , then south on B1248 to Beverley . Or do what I often do - leave Malton on B1248 and just busk it, taking random turns as the mood suits. No nav or map required . And it's a lovely area , I live a spit away from the Moors but the roads there are nearly all so well known they're cliches - ditto a lot of the Dales . East Yorkshire offers something different, as does my route from York to Cadwell via the Isle of Axholme - but that's another story .

When I used to live in Gateshead and had meetings in Hull, I used to drive back via Beverley, Wetwang, Pickering and over to Whitby and via Saltburn to the A19. A nice route especially in the evenings.

Thanks guys, really appreciate the replies. I’ll check out the suggestions on maps later and maybe go explore this weekend if it’s dry

I’d love to hear your other story, about the route to Cadwell. Please share!

Oh , go on then, You need to do this early morning , before the bikers get up . York - take B1228 off ring road . A great drive to Howden , on a far better road than many well known routes in the Dales and Moors . Howden to Goole, a town never to be confused with Venice , then the A161 across the flatlands of the Isle of Axholme. A631 east from just west of Gainsbrough , then east to Market Rasen, South on B1225 just west of Ludford , then east on A157 until sign south on minor roads to Cadwell .

Arrive, enjoy bacon roll and coffee at the UK's best circuit . Look forward to a great day's racing and back on a fast drive on empty roads . I've done this trip many times in my R400 Seven, now do it in MX5 and early on a spring morning it is sublime.
