Hi
Going to Whitby next week and we are thinking about going via Staxton Hill. Is it scary going down Staxton with a caravan.
Will be turning of at Driffield and going up through foxholes.

Len.

No, you will be fine going down Staxton Hill with a caravan. Just take care at the top as this is the steepest part with two bends. I have used Staxton numerous times over the last 30 years en route to Scarborough, most recently last week. It was re-surfaced last year as it had become badly rutted.

When coming back up, you can usually get a good run at it on the straight section, before you reach the steepest part on the bends at the top.

Thanks a bunch. You have put my mind at rest and given me the confidence to go via Staxton.
Cheers
