Hi all,

I will be going to scarborough (Lebberston) in a couple of weeks so I thought now would be a good time to check my route from Livingston (near Edinburgh).  I normally use the AA route planner but I also looked on this forum for different/more caravan friendly route planners and saw the Michelin one recommended.  Anyway.. they both tell me to go different routes from the A1(M) to scarborough

The AA tells me to go via Thirsk (A170) and the Michelin tells me to go via York (A59/A64).  As I have never been to that part of the UK before I was looking for advise as to which would be the best option with the van and this only being my 4th time out.

Many thanks in advance for you help folks!!

there is a very steep hill East of Thirsk which I do believe is a non caravan road on the A170 .

Have used the A64 into Scarborough last year towing our Caravan good easy route.

Thanks folk,

You have given me so food for thought.  I think I can definately rule out the Thirsk road as I this is only my 4th time out.  I am fairly confident with towing but I alway like to avoid trouble if possible.

Cheers

A64 route is easy, leave it at the B1261 (by the Morrisons supermarket, McDonalds etc) thru Cayton and it takes you straight to Leberston.

Leberston is fantastic BTW, we went there last summer and has a great time - excellent facilities and owners are superb.
