Skipton #2635 Free
This 1-stage route covers 10.3 miles in about 28 minutes, starting in Skipton and passing through Stirton, with speed limits from 20 mph up to 70 mph. With 8 roundabouts and only 2 traffic lights, it relies far more on roundabout judgement than on signals.
Watch Out For
- All 8 roundabouts: give way to traffic from the right and signal left on exit, including the Gargrave Road roundabout.
- A give way junction, where you must judge the gap before pulling out.
- A school zone with a reduced limit and children nearby.
Route Features
- 8 left turns and 5 right turns, plus 2 traffic lights.
- Named roads include Keighley Road, the A629 and the A65, so expect both 30 mph and faster 60 mph and 70 mph sections.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left at the kerbside stop point, then move off after checking mirrors and blind spot.
Key Tips
- Match your speed to each limit change, especially the 40 mph sections.
- Choose your lane early for each roundabout and signal in good time.
