The controversial BBC4 Peak District Thread got me thinking of Mastiles Lane ( from Kilnsey to Malham Tarn in the Yorkshire Dales ) this used to be open to traffic but the damage caused led to a vehicle ban, you can still walk or ride (on a cycle) it, and its a route worth taking.

Now there is a lot of Yorkshire members on this forum and thinking of Mastiles Lane and the Dales in general and given how we live in Gods County and are all proud to do so and love to tell people how privileged we are to live here, I thought I would start a list of must does for a Yorkshire man.

1. Walk the 3 peaks
2. Ascend Ilkley Moor preferably baht hat.
3. Walk round Spurn Point

Any more must does ?

other counties are available What if there were no hypothetical situations?
