we have decided to go the other way round, we are pretty much top end of our towing capacity and don't won't to blow up the engine, although we have basically google 'walked' that run and the Yorkshire moors run and there is really not much init, other than the Y moors has a hairpin bend half way up and we managed that in 1st!

but as we took the moors route by accident, i'm not sure i'm willing to risk our car with known facts!!

how bad are the road works on the A5??

well, just got back from our wonderful trip to barmouth and what a trip it was, we loved every minute!

While en-route we decided to go over the mountain and after feeling sick for the 10 miles before it, when it came we did really well, in fact we got up it better than our friends, who both burnt clutch, we all whooped as we realised we had done it, at a respectful pace.

it has given me alot of confidence in my towing of the 'van and in the car pulling it too. (the hubby was very proud) 

thanks for all the advice  

So you eventually took the challenge then? I had no doubt in my mind that you would do it but now you have done it it makes towing that much more confident. Well done and glad you had a good holiday. Did you come back the same way?
