Can anyone help ?

I am towing from Nottingham to Whitby and route planner suggests a longish stretch on the B1249 Driffield to Staxton, is this B road suitable for caravan towing ?

Much appreciated

Staxton Hill should be ok going down.But it is a route I would personally avoid going up.Try A1 to junc 45, A64 to Malton.A169 to Pickering then to Whitby (you may recognise some of this route if you watch Heartbeat).You could also stay on the A64 to Scarborough then A171 up the coast road to Whitby.

Thanks Snap....

Thought it might be a problem.....Local knowledge beats route planner any day !!

Cheers

these are quite good.

We are regular visitors, when towing we go A19, A172, A173 and then A171 straight down into Whitby, no nasty surprises on this route and less traffic jams with holiday traffic heading to the east coast.
