Routes from East Yorks

[Thegreatthor]

I've got a few days off next week and planning to get a few miles in. Planning about 100mile, overnight stay, 100 miles home again, ideally a different route. Anyone know any good routes from Goole area.

Twisty route through Lincolnshire Wolds book into Kingthorpe Manor Farm, the best B&B and possible the best breaking going.

Wobble back and pop into Barron Cycles for a real rural lbs.

Head North West to the Yorkshire Wolds then around the North York Moors. Both stunning, empty, ignored and neglected parts of England that everybody ought to explore at least once. Be sure to pass through Pocklington then Millington then up the dry valley heading towards Huggate and experience one of the most interesting landscapes you'll ever see.

If you decide to spin past Pocklington, I might be able to get a few miles of ride out with you depending on what time you come through etc.

I dunno about a specific route, but going anywhere North from Goole, through the Wolds, as Globalti says, is lovely, and on back roads, extremely quiet. Huggate area, Thixendale, and then up into the Nth Yorks Moors would be a lovely 'toddle' out.
Perhaps come down the east coast on way back, or just a slightly different route back, all would be lovely i'm sure, weather permitting.
Pickering or Scarborough perhaps places to stay, or a pub on route if you're travelling light.

I was thinking off the dales or moors. However links wolds nice too. I need some decent maps. It's hard work with my road atlas,

Why not just buy the 1:50,000 OS map of the area? They fit perfectly in a jersey pocket, they don't need batteries and you can see everything around your chosen route, unlike using a GPS, which is like reading your map through a cardboard tube.

This will get you started in the Wolds: https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/shop/landranger-map-market-weighton.html

Maps 100 and 101 for the Moors, further north.

I think you're right. Might pick them up today.

You'll be amazed at what they will reveal.
