2016 Yorkshire Meet
4 days to go !
2016 RCZ Route
[BALLOT BOX WITH CHECK]️Please remember that you must obey the Highway Code at all times. This is not a racing event so I ask that you all adhere to the speed limits of the road. The Police and MSA have been informed of this event so people may be watching. There is also a MG-A meet this weekend on the North York Moors so please be very careful.
Leaving Castle Howard, turn right
Follow the road to Slingsby.
At the crossroads, go straight across towards Kirkbymoorside, going through East Ness and West Ness and Welburn on route. This is a fairly quiet country road.
As you pass through Welburn you will reach the A170 (a crossroad).
Turn right towards Kirkbymoorside, taking care. (If the convoy becomes broken up just as you come into Kirkbymoorside (there's a little road /layby off left where you could reconvene). Re-join the A170 going towards Kirkbymoorside.
At the roundabout go left. Follow the road.
At the mini roundabout, go left and follow the road (sign posted Fadmoor and Gillamoor).
Eventually the road forks. The leader of the convoy will choose whether to take the left turn or continue to follow the road round to the right.
If left taken, turn right into Fadmoor.
If you follow the road round to the right, at the junction in Fadmoor by the pub, turn left for the triangular grass area.
***( it may be possible to stop for photos but be careful not to block residents driveways etc. There is a triangular grass area where you could stop on the road but again, be guided by your convoy lead).
On entering Fadmoor continue straight on towards Gillamoor. Follow the road, don't take any turns off. You will eventually reach a give way junction.
Turn right towards Hutton Le Hole.
As you come into Hutton Le Hole, turn left (towards the car park) and follow the road and keep right (DON'T follow the signs for Chimney Bank) towards Lastingham.
Go over a small bridge and turn left.
Follow the road through Lastingham, taking care near the church and pub as cars tend to park here which narrows the road). Go slow through the village as it's normally full of walkers and cyclists.
Continue to follow the road (no turns off) and follow signs for Rosedale.
Eventually you will come to a T junction by a bridge. Turn left towards Rosedale.
Follow the road to Rosedale. As you come into Rosedale there is a caravan/camping site on the left. Indicate to take a **sharp left** at the end of the camp site, to go up Chimney Bank.
Follow the road up Chimney Bank as the road levels out there may be room to park on a gravelled parking area (to the right or a bit further along if that is full) with stunning views.
Continue along the Moors road until you eventually come back down into Hutton Le Hole, turning right (taking you past the car park you passed earlier).
At the junction turn right to head out of Hutton Le Hole.
Continue on the Moors road up to The Lion, Blakey Ridge (6 miles). It's the only building you will pass. You can't miss it !!!
Park in the adjacent field on the left of the main car park.
