As title, is it all the 10 mile stretches of 20ft wide moorland bridlepath I remember? Or is there more to it than that?
I know the Lakes are over the road so theres always that for a technical hit.
Depends which bit, loads of different areas. And last time I looked, the Lakes were about 100 miles away! (You may be mixing up NYM with Yorkshire Dales...)
Possibly, work it yet again threatening to send me to Teesside, so it's still all just a sign on the M1 saying 'the north'.
There are some gnarr bits, and lots of dry, fast draining trails. I think the riding aound there is actually pretty good (live there for best part of a year before movign to the lakes). it depends on where you are comming form, of course.
North end of North Yorkshire Moors. Dalby is within reach. A lot of forests, moors and tracks. Long distance stuff, it's possible to do 100 miles off road, only 'crossing' roads, not going along them.
There's some awesome singletrack if you know where to look.

trail around Urra Moor is a fantastic traverser.
dunno bout gnar but they do have some tasty riding from the few times I've been. Would ride there much more if I lived closer. (peaks and lakes are a fair bit closer so I go there instead)
