Thirsk?

Due to be staying near Thirsk at the end of next week and wondered if anyone could recommend a good route within a 30 minute drive that is easy to find/park.

Cheers

Thanks Witton,

Looks like a good area to explore, especially as I will be visiting Northallerton as well.

Now to decide how far to go and which direction?!!

Hi Davemac,
Here's a link to race routes on the NYM.ac website. There are some fairly close to the Thirsk & Northallerton areas - we have members from that area. There are description as well as maps of most of the routes.

The closest routes would be 'Ossie Oyks - just outside Osmotherley,
the 'Whorlton Run' from Swainby, the 'Carlton Challenge' fro Lordstones Cafe near Carlton in Cleveland village to mention a few.

Cheers for that Strat, visit has been delayed a couple of weeks, so will give me more time to decide which route to take!!

Will let you know how I get on.
