Anyone know any nice off road hacks in Yorkshire?

[arwenplusone]

So, my friend and I want a bit of a break from competing/schooling etc and are looking to box up for a long hack somewhere in the Yorkshire area - up to an hour/90mins or so from York)

anyone got any good ideas? I'm thinking Castle Howard (but I don't know any routes) Dalby forest etc?

thoughts and ideas much appreciated - thanks!

dalby forest! or on the moors? or go to a beach such as cayton bay

Check out the www.ride-uk.org.uk site or www.bridleways.co.uk or buy an ordnance survey map of the area which will show the bridleways and restricted byeways you can ride on.

I was on a public right of way the other day which allows the hunt on, and has natural jumps. Might be worth ringing North Yorks council?

A friend of mine takes her horse to Yorkshire for 6 weeks every summer and says the hacking is fantastic. She is near Millington/Bishop Wilton east of York.

we are just north or Thirsk (about an hour from york town centre) and hack (off road) in the North York Moors.
PM me and i can send you more details, you could meet up with us if you wanted and i could show you a few routes?

Millington Pastures is a beautiful ride - I used to live near there and it is well worth going.

 

[arwenplusone]

oo- thanks guys - Millington looks good.

SH - where were you?

[arwenplusone]

Course! Have you transport? my lorry only fits two

Besides, don't you have some BD to go to...

 

[sfward]

oh you're going saturday? dammit! yes doing dressage...

Have some cracking hacking over with me!
Don't have to touch a main road at all! Lots of hills, tracks, BW, fields to go through for hours. Lots of ways to go & vary them.

Sadly be about 2hrs from you.
