I'm no good at map reading and can't remember what the roads are like so feel free to dis-regard this but I used to live in the area and seem to remember that if you wanted to avoid Sutton Bank a good way is to head for Coxwold and then Ampleforth. From there you can re-join the A170 at Helmsley and its straight through to Scarborough. There are signs around Sutton Bank showing alternative routes. Look out for the White Horse on the hillside at Kilburn (not a pub but a chalk horse on the hillside!!)

Thanks Carol Ann,
Looking at the map and this seems the logical way.I will look out for the white Horse and the Signs for the alternative route.

See you are form Leeds now. I have got Family in Methley Rothwell and Churchfenton :-)

Methley was on flodd alert last night. as were afew others I imagine.

Thanks again

When you get somewhere near sutton bank they give you an alternative route to follow with caravans (all sign posted) as you are not allowed up sutton bank wether you want to chance it or not.

We went to jacobs mount last year i hope you like it busy and noisy.

Hi Kanno

I think we got off quite lightly this time, it seems to be South Yorkshire that got the drenching. I saw pictures on the telly of a caravan floating in someone's garden, my heart goes out to them!

I live in this area and would use the A171 to Whitby then onto Scarborough....There is no need to use Sutton Bank at all!

Thanks for everyones reply, I will take Bryans advice and Go to A19 A171 to Whitby route. this is the way the sat nav gave as the quickest route. I just wasn't sure about the A19. Always best to get advice especially when you have never traveled these routes.

Thanks again.

Yes I concur - I avoid it in a car if possible.

I wouldn't fancy Garrowby Hill (between York and Driffield) in a lorry or with a caravan either.

we used it a few times, signs everywhere telling you caravans are not allowed.
