I love these old roads, is kinda cool to think it could be tens or hundreds of thousands of years old rather than just a couple of thousand.... still looks a better surface than my town centre! 😀
The first time they filmed Harry Potter at Gothland Station I was a volunteer on the NYMR I remember seeing some of the volunteers who had engineering training going down there to help erecting scaffolding so that the filming crew could hang huge green screens all around the station love that road ages since I last went there 😊
Earlier this summer, rode up to Rosedale Abbey for first ever time, over the tops down to Castleton. Then through the lovely villages along the Eskdale & back down that route to Pickering. The road back to Pickering was virtually deserted. I remember riding through one ford, it had a couple of inches of water flowing through. Great route that will definitely get done again.
The colour of the water is due to run off through Peat bogs in winter the water washes over the road most of those fords get pretty deep the stone road has a fare current running over it and the roads are gated at both ends with warnings about snow and ice on the moor it gets pretty bleak up there 😮
Hi beautiful place been over it with the pathfinders group 👍🏍️
It really is. Wonderfully peaceful too.

I hadn't thought of the green screens. They must have been huge!

There are a lot of really nice roads in the area. I do like Rosedale Abbey (and Chimney Bank).
@ haven’t done Chimney bank , but it’s one for next year.
@@martinowl The bank itself is just a couple of switchbacks on a steep rise but the road after it is very pretty.

I was quite pleased to not have to go through a really deep ford. I might have turned around instead 😀
