Whichever way you go there's going to be masses of traffic so be prepared to sit in traffic jams!!

Last week we left A1 at J47 and skirted York and carried on that way. There was a fair ammount of traffic then.

On the way back we did your other route (backwards of course and on the 'high road') and there was quite a bit of standing traffic at Pickering and Helmsley.

I'd stick to the more major roads to avoid all the 'tourists'

Pickering can get quite congested but its not usually too bad.  Its just one set of traffic lights that forms a queue (we moved very slowly for about 15 minutes last weekend)  I wouldn't head anywhere near York to pick up the A64 on a weekend or bank holiday. It is usually just a grid lock.  Once you come off the A19  the queues begin.  I'd take the scenic route.

As a Scarborough girl and someone that now lives only 2 minutes away from the A64 I would take the B1257 road from near Helmsley travel to Malton on B1257 and then pick up the A64. The A64 is a nightmare near York but this would avoid York - it depends where you are staying in Scarborough!!!

Hi we are staying at the flower of may, it looks like i will take the caravan route onto the b1257 and then on to a64. Is the b1257 a decent road?

Yes - the B1257 is fine. Just turn right in Malton and head to A64, then pick up B1261 just outside Scarborough and it will take you through to FofM
