As you are heading up Sutton Bank you must coming East - Brid or Scarborough or Pickering etc. Tell me where from and to and I can give you a bit of advice.

DH has a fair idea where to go but just needs to make sure a hundren times before lol

was for future use as well as i would come in handy to hasve one to look at x

That option on the viaMichelin site just alters the driving times, allowing for your slower speed.

There is nothing that can do this because none of the maps record gradients, road widths etc. Without that info for every metre of every road, no routing software can hope to get you round obstacles like that.

I'd be interested to see if anyone with that supposed caravan-friendly sat-nav (Snooper? Ventura?) can test that out and see what happens - bet it also takes you up there as well.

Hi All,

 The only reason i suggested viamichelin is i used it earlier today because i am going away friday to a cc site near tauton somerset then saturday moving to another cc site nearby & RAC route planner wanted to take me down alot of b roads but the viamichelin one with the car & caravan option ticked used a different longer route with more major roads.
