Seems very shortsighted of the council. Went through there in June but didn't stop as wanted to visit Holmfirth and Hawes and had not allowed myself enough time as I was due in Thirsk that evening. I do plan to visit the Peaks again next year maybe.
Also want to do the Dales circular route in full, this time keeping better watch on the fuel situation. I had never seen the fuel light on constant before and the satnav said nearest petrol 25 miles. Luckily I stumbled over an old style petrol station in Masham which was closed but had a card pay pump! Saved me a long push with a bike that looked like a whipped donkey with all the touring kit. Its taken me 3 years to perfect getting on the bike when so equipped (being shortish, mid 60's and overweight), I still look to park next to a kerb though, if I can.
Will pop up sometime, and keep my eye on East Anglian section as always go North for rides. Let's face it living near Southend there is only one way to go. Even did a long weekend camping in the Dedham Vale on my C90 last May. But thats another story (and another forum).
