After a lovely scone and tea at the Stripey Badger coffee shop in Grassington I set off back to Threshfield were you take a right to Kilnsey, Kettlewell, Buckden, Kidstones, West Burton and then on to Aysgarth. In Aysgarth I stopped to take a photo of the water falls which were magnificent. Moving on to Carpenby then left for Woodhall and then to Askrigg village which is very quaint.
From Askrigg I set off for Hawes via Bainbridge on the A684. Hawes was heaving with bikers and after a walk around the town I set off back to Aysgarth again and then on to Leyburn for an ice cream stop.
From Leyburn it was on to Middleham, Jervaulx, Masham and took a left at Low Burton for Nosterfield, Ainderby Quernhow, Skipton on Swale, Carlton Miniott and Thirsk for a toilet break. It was time to head home from Thirsk heading for Sutton-under-Whitestonecliffe, Sproxton, Oswaldkirk, Gilling East, Brandsby, Marton Abbey, Stillington, Sutton-on-the-Forest then on to the York bypass and home. I arrived home at 4.30pm and covered 217 miles in total and my backside felt a bit numb. I don't think I'll be putting my name down for the Iron Butt bike club.


Not many, but a few photos for you showing the lovely yorkshire Dales.
