Seeing as the local meets have all but stopped due to the shorter nights, and the new leeds one isn't up and running yet, been speaking to ash about another 'day out' .

So provisionally: what do people think about a run out to the dales ? I've a couple of routes in my head and will post up directions in a bit, but the loose idea is meet up, drive to a nice pub for lunch then drive around some more ?

I will keep an eye on this one :). When I know the areas you are thinking I will be able to tell you if I can join

Roughly start at pool bank garage (vpower) then head up though the lower end of dales up towards hawes stopping for soem food at soem piont, and possibly over buttertubs, pint &**** at tan hill then either towards Masham and cutting back through the dales towards harrogate.

you could after you do the buttertubs, come back over it to Hawes and head down towards ingleton. You can stop at Ribblehead viaduct for pictures and there is also a pub there.
