I met Rob Davis at Birchanger Services on the M11 at 9am, and after a quick chat headed North. We stopped for fuel at Ferrybridge services, and after a few photos on the moors got to Aidensfield (Goathland) at 3pm.

The road to the campsite
After the tents were set up, we had a wander into the villiage, unfortunately the pub was shut, but the shops were open.
Next, we went for a ride to Rosedale Chimney Bank, the second steepest road in Britain
It is marked up as a 33% incline, although there are other roads nearby, which are also marked as 33%
We stopped on the moors for some more photo's
Next morning, we had a ride over most of the moors, and found a toll road through Dalby Forest, which charged 8 or 9 quid for a car, but free for motorcycles, which was a real rip off.
Back to the campsite for some beers and rum and coke, then next day, packed up and headed home. There are loads of mobile speed cameras in this area, although we were only bimbling along, so not a problem. We came back via the Humber Bridge and Peterborough, which knocked off about 30 miles and half an hour, and nicer roads.
Great trip, thanks for the company, Rob, and the use of your photo's
