Theres a good run out of Barnard Castle which takes you past the castle and over the bridge, then up to Cotherstone and follow the road up towards Alston

Are you not thinking of Buttertubs Pass? Thats south of the A66, starts between Richmond & Leyburn. If you're heading up from Wakey, best way is to ride to Skipton, up through into Kettlewell and towards Ayrsgarth, turn right towards Leyburn and once at Leyburn head up towards Richmond. Half way along that road there'll be signs for Reeth. Head over that way towards Kirkby Stephen, the road is fantastic, very tight in places but a great road.
