Planning on heading up to Whitby for 2/3 midweek days in March. Has anyone got any routes for the area. Will spend 1 day at Dalby so needing a couple of routes that will hold up some wet riding.

Guisborough woods / moors is only 30 minutes from Whitby, although some of the regular tracks have been destroyed by logging activities.

if you have a look [url= http://www.trailblasters.co.uk/forum2/ ][u]here[/u][/url] you may find some nice routes.
Although there's plenty of open moorland all round Whitby to play on!! ๐Ÿ˜€
There is also an exellent disused railway line that runs from Whitby to Scarborough if the moors / forest tracks are boggy.(nice if you fancy a gentle ride)

Guisborough woods, roseberry topping, captain cooks monument, clay bank, wainestones, carlton bank (has a downhill course as well), osmotherly... that should keep you busy for a day,, I dont have any exact routes as I usually just ride up there and try to spot tracks I've never ridden or ran before...

danby, ainthorpe rigg, crossley side, fryupdale head, glaisdale rigg, glaisdale, lealholmeside, danby beacon, clitherbeck, danby. nice 3hours or so, better than a ride round dalby. could start/finish at glaisdale (not far from whitby).
