Sun, glorious sun. - SV650.org

Just have to take advantage of the lovely weather at the moment so yesterday I was up early and left my house at 0800 hrs.

Turned off the A65 at Hellifield and took a single track road through Malham and Langcliffe. It's a fantastic bit of road. Hardly any traffic and great scenery.

Parked up the bike to take some photos and this nosey horse came trotting up. I'm not very keen on horses. They scare me a little.

Then took the B6479 up to Ribblehead Viaduct.

Then the B6255 to Hawes and Butter Tubs Pass.

Butter Tubs Pass is fantastic. Shame it's not much longer.

Then I took the B6270 to Kirkby Stephen. Yet another fabulous road. Hardly any traffic. Bliss!

From Kirkby Stephen, on to Brough and the B6276 to Middleton-in-Teesdale
with a short stop at Selset Reservoir.

Then on to Alston via the B6277.

Lunch stop at Hartside.

Then the A6 through Shap and Kendal, then home via A65 which I despise immensely,but by this point I was tired and just needed a quickest way home.

291 miles of lovely riding in the sun.

Happy riding one and all.

I'm guessing the horse had never seen a 2 tone SV before, just wanted a closer look

Love the pics Mel, especially the helmet shots!

I might do some of the this route tomorrow, if I can muster the willpower to stop i'll take some pics myself
