Cheers! It's a cracking route and the butter tubs are fascinating to look at. A bit of care is needed in the strong wind though I guess if I fell in the people were on site to pull e back out :-D
Cheers HD. It's a cracking little road. Shame it's not ten times the length! If you head up there, take the road from Hawes to Ribblehead viaduct afterwards. Loooooads of fun :-)
Thanks Dave! It's a great place. That road is superb for scenery. Always tempting to open the bike up a bit but then you find gravel or a sheep and think twice :-D
Thanks for risking life and limb for our viewing pleasure. Some of the best 'close up' shots of the actual Buttertubs I've seen. I wanted to get up that way for a long weekend this year, but like most my other plans, that never quite worked out. Looked rather windy up there, not a big fan of riding in the wind I must admit, especially a full day out like that wouild have been for you guys.
It certainly was a windy day - we seem to be having a lot of that recently. If you do get up there, give me a shout! Always up for a ride and a cuppa :-)
@@CalmBiker Will do, and thanks for the 'invite'! Although you may well regret my somewhat sedate pace on my old Honda 500! I have a feeling we may well still be limited pretty much to the UK in 2021 :-( (I toured the Pico's in 2018/2019 having never taken my bike abroad before) If that's the case I may well do a week up there!
Great well filmed ,and informative video Richard . This day out you had with Graham produced one of the best series I have seen on youtube .Your footage confirms my thoughts . So much was I inspired that I purchased from Australia, the complete series of All Creatures and Small . That series stands the test of time and is still brilliant .
I remember watching that one as a child, though under some duress :-D They've just remade it. I haven't seen much of it yet but Mrs C is enjoying it. Maybe I should give the original another try!
@@CalmBiker I have managed to see the first episode of the remake and it seems to be very good . I bought the Dad's Army movie they made a few years ago ,and couldn't watch it past half way .Those original actors were so perfect for their roles .
There are some great views across the moors, every turn and a different view. If that was the Fenland mountain rescue on a training course then they were out of their depth 🤣. Great video mate. Take care. 👍👍👍
That was an amazing day out on a motorcycle and I enjoyed every single mile 👌 I had forgotten about the wind definitely going down that way next season haven't been to Tan Hill either 😅
It's a nice one for a not-too-quick ride. Continuing on to the road from Hawes to Ribblehead viaduct is where the fun starts. That's my favourite road. Shame it's so far away.
I didn't know how "Butterubs" got it's name. I've done a run from Pately Bridge - Hawes - Tan Hill. It's so very nice. A ride to go slow and actually see the view rather than head down and "1000 yard stare".
I did that ride a year or so ago in the other direction. Spent too long at Tan Hill Inn though, so the old sweet shop was closed when I got to Pately Bridge. I'd promised Mrs C a quarter of sweets too :-D
Cheers Rich, seen many a video of the butter tub pass but not seen one where they have actually stopped to show the tubs, great viewing.

That was awesome, is incredible the power of a few trickles of water over hundreds of thousands of years :-) beautiful scenery to ride :-)

@@CalmBiker I do love a good viaduct too! :D
Love watching your videos and getting to know your beautiful country. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Mr T! Same applied for me and your videos :-)
WOW......... Such a beautiful part of the world, how nice was that !! It would be lovely to have that ride close to home. Thanks for sharing Rich 👍

@@paullee6663 I don't mind a sedate ride :-) Unfortunately I think you might be right about these restrictions lasting for some time to come.
Enjoyed that loads! Love that area!
It's a beautiful place and cracking roads.

Great scenery, loving these roads and didnt know the tour de France went through there. 👍👍
It's quite an impressive place and well worth a visit. Those guys on bicycles must be amazingly fit to ride up that road!
Great ride out. Have to give it alook at. Thanks 👍
Thanks John!

Great video mate. Take care. 👍👍👍
Cheers Rob! I was tempted to ask for a go on the rope but I think I know that I wouldn't have enjoyed the answer :-D

Tan Hill next time then!
@@CalmBiker yes please 🙂
Nice road there I wish i had one that looks like it was made for motorcycles

Last went there in 1982.....
I'd go daily if I was closer :-)
Cow’us! Not barns!
Haha!
