West Yorkshire/Derbyshire
A6024
Holme-Moss

This is one of the (if not the) biggest steepest hills in West Yorkshire.
It runs from Holmfirth (south of Huddersfield) over to join the Woodhead Pass (A628)

Dragging an old post back to the present, I found this link

If I'm in a fast car (not the LR!!) I like the A66 on a good day. The dual carriageway section can be *very* entertaining when the traffic is quiet and the local enforcement is absent  8-[

More local to be, the A1075 from Great Hockham to Watton. Nice and wide with sweeping curves and a few tighter ones thrown in for variety.

For me if I'm heading to the north-west (Cumbria) it's far easier to use the A65.
Once you get through Bradford & Shipley, it's a 'good run'

Talking of roads I know which was the first motorway to be built in the UK anybody who knows be quiet but if you dont lets have a guess.

Maybe I'll try that way when we go up to Glasgow for Christmas  :D
Looks like going through Bradford might be a bit slow though?

I know it's not the obvious one, but I can't remember which it was..... maybe part of the M6?

Hah! Just did a bit of Googling and.......  :lol:

No, it just gets in the way, as from leaving the M62 at either jct 27 (Gildersome), or 26 ('Chain-Bar'), it's practically all traffic-lights & queuing until the Bingley relief-road.

The A65 is nice though, but you're not actually on it until you've got to the north side of Skipton, as it's the road from Leeds city-centre.
Prior to that it's the A650.
