Buttertubs pass Yorkshire dales

[PJGWiltshire]

Heading into the Yorkshire Dales this weekend. Looking to travel down Buttertubs pass in a 7.5m Carthago. Has anybody done the pass in such sized vehicle

The milk wagon manages it OK.

no problem at all, the roads to the north and west of Buttertubs are more challenging but still possible

Beautiful area. It was hair raising enough in the Zafira, so good luck. My favourite area of the UK.

Were you following the Zafira?

A Good "clue" is if it is not 7.5Tonne Barred. It will be OK. I have done deliveries in that General area with 3 Axle 27T vehicles without too much hassle.

Not sure of the topology of the route but I wouldn’t mind betting that none of those vehicles have a 2.4 metre overhang with less than 10 inches of ground clearance.

These characteristics can be limiting on hairpin bends that have some elevation change.

Size is rarely everything ?
