Riding the North Yorkshire Moors Loop 58 miles of biking heaven. Britain for Bikers by Simon Weir
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 май 2023
- In this episode we ride the North Yorkshire Moors 58 mile loop from the Britain for Bikers book by Simon Weir.
Riding through some lovely villages and seeing some stunning scenery. Your on the B1257 for 19.5 miles also known as the TT road with its sweeping bends a fabulous ride. Then there's the minor road through Castleton and Hutton le Hole with its stunning views of the moors either side of you. Another Simon Weir classic really, I highly recommend this one if your anywhere near it.
Having said that we rode 70 mile there to the start of it calling in at the NY500 Cafe near Pickering where as you'll see saw some amazing Lamborghini's.

Always enjoy riding along with you Mr Clark, thank you for taking us along. Keep up the great work.
Pleased you enjoyed it my friend.
Hi Steve, mecand the wife have just been up to Rosedale on a bus trip and stayed in Rosedale abbey in a farm house hotel,covered the old iron works top of chimney bank,castleton, hemsley and thornton le dale what wonderful scenery....God's own country
Your so right its simply stunning up there, pleased you had a great time my friend.
Good video Steve thanks
Cheers Greg pleased you enjoyed it.
What a great route. I use Simon's books as a guide on lots of my tours. I was in the Lake District for three days a week ago. I rode through the Forest of Bowland on the way up and the Yorkshire Dales National Park on the way down. Many of the roads I used for those two rides and almost all the days riding through the Lakes were from Simon, his recommendations are always excellent. Thanks for taking us along on the ride.
Have to agree big time I've never had a bad route from any of Simon's books. Sounds like you had a cracking few days in the lakes Neil ride safe mate and thanks for watching.
Very enjoyable video riding some of my favourite roads, I am going to have to update my Simon Weir as this route isn't in mine (2015 copy). When taking the (very) long route to Whitby I have bypassed the A173 and A171, as you say that part isn't great, on the B1257 at Kirkby in Cleveland turn Right and follow the back roads through Battersby, Castleton, Danby, Grossmont and onto Sleights then Whitby, make a route on Garmin Basecamp. The roads in places are single track and there A LOT of sheep so be careful, it's also tiring riding a sports bike on those kids of roads, but what scenery.
Thanks David for the route heads up will plot it and ride it my friend, appreciate it. Ride Safe fella
Good to hear your venturing further north for your holiday camp this year. Cresswell is a great stopping point for all the good roads around Northumberland and even into Scotland. If you get the chance have breakfast at Drift Cafe. You wont be disappointed, I'm often in that place when up from Middlesbrough.
Thanks mate think Drift Cafe is just round the corner from our holiday park so will defo give it a go my friend.
I did Staithes to Hutton-Le- Hole on a very windy day but what a stretch of 14 miles or so. I’ll definitely do it again!!!!
Yeah Mike great roads my friend.
The P with the circle just means you've reached a particular waypoint on your on your route and to look for Parking. Like a stoppong place. I think it depends how you enter waypoints on your route planner .
Brilliant thanks for solving that one really appreciate it. Was hoping one viewer would know and explain it to us so cheers my friend your the man 👍
Beautiful!!

Great route Steve.
Yorkshire has some great roads for sure.
The car park attendant in Helmsley is straight on the case as soon as you ride up.
The ticket machine, if you press and hold the button, you get 20min free. Pop it somewhere on the bike and Mr Carpark Attendant is happy.
😊
Looking forward to you caravan video....what no Scotland this year.

Cheers George for the tip about free 20 mins mate, it was so funny loads of bikes one minute then warden is seen approaching and the place empties 🤣We are going to be near Scotland but fancied the Northumberland National park area for a change my friend.

Let's hope the good weather is here to stay a while now eh Baza

Yeah was a top day mate.
Hi Steve, hope you are enjoying the lovely sunshine.
That bakers is amazing. I stopped there whilst doing the route last may. Fabulous
Cheers fella really enjoying the sunshine and hoping its here to stay for a good while now as so far this it's been crap weather. Fingers crossed eh my friend.
All those Mclarens and all I thought was ooh look at that VW camper, nice. 😂😂😂
😂🤣😂 nice one Bob like it 👍🤣😂
That route looks superb for biking. Looking for to the “Coffee ‘n Cakes Cruiz’n” tour when it comes out. 😀
🤣 John is defo the cake connoisseur and know's ALL the places round here lol. Thanks for watching my friend.
Just done this route. First time on a bike. A bit busy due to it being a Bank Holiday but thoroughly enjoyable. Love your vids Steve and love Simon Weir's book.
Really pleased you enjoyed the route my friend and thanks for taking the time to comment. Ya can't go wrong with Mr Weir's rides.
hi Steve.pleased to see you back out .great clear video as always. full of info .looking forward to seeing you with the lads on
tour .nearly bought a caravan on cresswell towers in 2001 .but we could not get up all weekends to justify the cost .it was £3000 just for site fees .but its a nice site .ride safe my friend.old Dave
Thanks Dave we are really looking forward to the Cresswell tour my friend. ride safe fella.
Great thats Steve i live 5 mins away loads of great roads on moors..ya could of ad some Great fish n chips n Gt Ayton 🍻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Craig and the fish and chips tip give us a great reason to ride it again 🤣
The P on your and John's sat nav means PAY as it is now a subscription service by BMW?
The Coffee and Cake Tour for Bikers sounds like a winner. John must do it.
A very scenic route. The only drawback is that it's 170 miles up the A1(M) for me and then back. Maybe take a few days and combine it with a few other routes.
Many thanks Steve.
🤣Wouldn't put it past BMW to con more out of us lol, and yeah we had 70 miles there and back from it making it a 200 mile day but was perfect, thanks for watching Alex.
Great video .. Hope to see more with the better weather..I find my BMW sat a bit of a mare.
Yeah this year has to be one of the worst weather wise so far 🤞 it stays better now.
nice one Steve, sort of up my neck of the woods there, John it's pronounced "Gizbro" lol Cresswell towers got some happy teenage memories from there..wahey :)
Happy days Bazza will let John know and yeah roll on Cresswell.
Our group no longer stops @helmsley, (traffic wardens)..we bypass stopping elsewhere
Traffic warden was ok on this particular day Paul but know what you mean fella.
I’m lucky enough to live in these parts and that’s my regular default ride out. Cracking route. Thomas’s the baker at Helmsley do a nice bacon roll and a coffee for £2.40 as well, just to add to the joy
Top tip noted my friend on the bacon roll and coffee, cheers appreciate that.
Need to watch for the old camera vans on that route 😢
That's true but can still be totally enjoyed my friend.
Sorry I'm 'late', but I did a couple of nights in North/Mid Wales over the weekend (speedo cable broke 🙁not the best when you haven't got a fuel gauge, Gaffa tape and cable ties to the rescue) so I'm playing 'catch up'. Very 'timely upload' ... I'm booked for a week in the Yorkshire Dales & Whitby in July, so I'll definitely be giving this one a look. Going to order Simon's book now....I have two already. Looking forward to your next tour. Don't forget the drone 🤣
Oh dear not good with the speedo cable Paul, hope you get to do this little loop its great and we are all well ready for the cresswell tour fella, ride safe mate.
@@Steve-Clark The inner cable itself wasn't damaged, I think it's just where the 'outer cable' mounts to the drive (I'm not very mechanically minded) but I was pretty chuffed with my Gaffa tape and cable tie repair 🤠 Looks like it would last the season! No problems on the way home, filled up with E5 Esso on the road out of Barmouth just to be safe, back to the West Mids, which probably means I've still got half a tank left...🤣 Makes me laugh when I hear folks moaning about lack of Cruise Control, mileage to empty displays and lack of accurate fuel gauges. When you've pushed it to the petrol station a few times, you soon learn. 🤣 I don't know how we coped / survived. 😄
@@paullee6663 cracking tale that Paul it's amazing what us humans can do when we have to. Pleased you got where needed and are sorted mate. Thanks for the story my friend 👍 ride safe
@@Steve-Clark Elan Valley on Monday for me, hotel for the night, back home via Llynn Brianne Tuesday. Genuine Honda speedo cable ordered, but I reckon my Heath Robinson affair will survive the 300 mile (ish) round trip 🙂 May as well enjoy the sun while it's shining I say...🙂
Don't know if you've been before but Elan Valley is simply stunning ENJOY !!!
Another great video Steve, I have just shared it with my riding buddy, because you’ve been right through our playground! It just goes to show, listening to the commentary, the things we take for granted are of much interest to those who don’t encounter them regularly!
One of our usual meeting points is the Forge Tearooms, they serve very good food, and reasonably priced. It tends to be our breakfast meet early on a weekend morning.
From there we play all around the North York Moors, often riding the Yorkshire TT as a feeder road when travelling anywhere North, beyond Teesside!
Keep the videos coming Steve, can’t wait for your caravan base trip this time.
Ride safe and remember, Shiny Side Up! 🏍🏍👍
Cheers Henry pleased you enjoyed fella and your well lucky living amongst all that beautiful scenery. We loved riding around the small bit we did and plan to return again. Ride Safe my friend.
@@Steve-Clark sounds great Steve, maybe we can arrange a guided tour of some spots for you, in future?
@@henryroscoe2464 will bear that in mind cheers Henry 👍
A great route Steve, a Simon Weir book should be on the shelves of every motorcycle rider. I'm always surprised when two satnavs agree. We have two old Garmin 660s, we can create a route in basecamp, export it to both units and they can still occasionally disagree!
Totally agree Richard every rider should own the Simon Weir collection, I have 3 just missing the European one (sure I'll have it soon 🤣) We were amazed at 2 sat nav's running the same route and turns but will see what happens when we are away for a week and doing a few routes 🤞Thanks for watching and ride safe you two.
@@Steve-Clark the sat nav’s don’t agree if they have different profile settings
@@ThatYorkshireChap yeah that's what we found both day nav have to have exact same settings 👍
Thanks Steve! Looked like a fun and interesting ride.
Top top roads my friend thanks for watching.
Steve! Bring your friends and come ride in Montana, Wyoming and Idaho with me. Lots to see!
@@bogusm8940 That would be a dream come true fella, would love it 😀never say never eh
I think John needs to relax a little, as no one minds a little artistic license about bread ;-) Great route, thx.
Ha ha will get John a couple of chill pills mate. Those sarnies were massive 🤣
Not sure where you were heading back to but at the end if you went straight over instead of left, the road to Malton is good. Great ride, local to me so done it a fair few times,
We could have done that road you mention as we were heading south back to Scunthorpe, just looked and noted it for future reference , thanks for that 👍
If you head up that way again from Pickering, on the A170 hang a right through Wrelton to Rosedale Abbey and through it on to New Road you go past Bell End Farm on the right that takes you up the hill and a cracking bit of road up to Blakey Ridge or you can carry on the A170 reverse of what you did but in Hutton Le Hole turn right through the village towards Rosedale Abbey. You will travel down Chimney Bank, its steep but you will be impressed by the views and you can head out again to New Road and back up to Blakey Ridge. The Pub you passed on Blakey Ridge which you missed on the video is The Lion Inn does really good food too.
Thanks Jay really appreciate the heads up on new roads. We are ready to try new routes and enjoy any viewer giving us tips so will give all the info you have passed on to us a go sometime in the future.
Oh and is that really the name of that farm? 🤣
@@Steve-Clark yep that made me and the misses chuckle when we saw the sign too, it’s genuine. Just down a track from it is Little Bell End farm. 😂
@@JaySalvoUK brilliant 🤣
Another great video Steve, have you guys got any big tours planned for this year?
We have just finished our Northumberland tour Jim which John and myself recorded so a new series out when I get stuck into all the editing which takes some work.
Watch this space my friend.
Well bugger me Steve - just come back from doing that route. There's another chippy just off the square down the pedestrian bit in Helmsley.
Happy days Tucker will remember about other chippy info cheers.
Hi Steve, thanks for another route to try, BUT!! I need to ask you a question about your Europe tour you did last year, can you tell me or where do you find out what documents you need to travel though France . Thanks
Hi Brian we didn't go last year but last time we did just google requirements for motorcycles in europe. I know when we went last for france we had to take spare light bulbs a high viz vest a red triangle and even a couple of your own breathalyser's. Think its eased a bit now hope that helps a little.
great video steve ,lovely pic quality i just got a drift ghost xl pro camera please could you give me the settings you use on the bike
1080p at 60 fps, bit rate normal, set to Vivid, field of view 160, hope that helps fella
was you at route 59 cafe monday just gone.
No that wasn't us my friend
@@Steve-Clark great show by the way, looking for new routes myself.
@@MrWhothefoxthat You won't go far wrong if you get to do this one fella.
I presume Simon Weir doesn't mind copies of his route being put on screen. 🤔🤷🏼♂️
Would very much doubt it the amount of promoting I do for all of his books and there are 99 more routes in this particular book so hopefully gives people a taster and they will go out and buy it.Thanks for watching fella.
Steve, what helmet is that you have ?
Hi Dave it's the Shark Evoline 3 on which the chin guard flips right over the back (main reason for buying). Hope that helps 👍
@@Steve-Clark Thanks Steve, always enjoy you rides out.
Chip shop is never open
How on earth do they make a living seems daft to me fella.
Where’s Muss ?
Was asked but couldn't make it but he's with us for the week at Cresswell Joe.
I have totally given up on my nav 6 bag of sh*t got the connected ride cradle miles better
Hi Austin sorry to hear about your nav 6 mate. Never had a problem with mine but pleased your sorted now my friend.
@@Steve-Clark just toured germany using my connected ride cradle
@@austinmatthews347 Love Germany some great roads to ride there. Ride safe my friend
@@Steve-Clark imo bavaria is the best part of it
It’s north York moors not North Yorkshire moors 😂
I stand corrected 😂
2:47 - "GUYS-brough"!! 🤣🤣That hurt my Teesside ears! It's pronounced Giz-bruh btw.
Welcome to my backyard chaps, glad ya enjoyed the route
🤣 Sorry bout that thanks for putting us right fella 👍
