Some 32 years ago i was doing my basic army training at Catterick and learning to drive armoured cars, one particular day our dfriving instructor took us down sutton bank ........... i think its fair to say i needed a change of clothes when we got to the bottom. It's the most horrendous road i have ever been on and since then i have driven on some pretty remote roads, never again lol even without the caravan on the back.

Caravans are banned from Sutton Bank....with very good reason.

Coming down from Durham head for�the A19 through Middlesbrough until you come to the A174 exit and head east. In Marton turn right on to the A172 to Stokesley. Keep on the A172 round Stokesley (avoiding Town Centre) until you come to the�B1257 from Stokesley to Helmsley. Head down to Helmsley.

That road takes you into the Market Place (turning left at the Church). As you come into the Market Place it will be on your right. Keep straight on at the junction and that road takes you out of Helmsley on to Kirbymoorside. This is the Scarborough Road. Through Kirbymoorside and after about two miles turn left to Hutton Le Hole.

Hi I know this post is from a while ago but we are looking for advice. We will be travelling to Hutton le Hole from Carlisle and we are thinking it would be easier to come down via Middlesbrough. Obviously we need to avoid Sutton Bank...we have a large twin axle van. Can anyone suggest the best route? The one above sounds feasible? Thanks
