True Yorkshire Dale RIde

The Dutch came for a day out armed with the Yorkshire Dale route loaded in the Sat Nav.  Dave and I were struggling to comprehend the route, ie the length, the roads and the route itself.  We have given a few points, but they were adamant about following the route provided.

After we struggles past Harrogate and A59, we headed into the Dales.  Part of it follow the Dales Way.  We had never need on so many farm tracks!  We must have zigzagged across all the tracks in the Dales.  At the end, we chopped the routes due to the time limitation.  The two guys on GS really loved the farm tracks, they were fist pumping when they deliberately riding over puddles and drifting across the gravels.  At the end, we split in half, the GS and Dave went down for more farm tracks.  The two sporty bikes came my route via sweeping bendy roads.
