The route takes us westwards on the A59 briefly stopping at the Route 59 Cafe near Bolton Bridge to pick up any HAB members wishing to join the ride there. Continuing on the A59 a taking a minor road left turn which will lead us on some back roads into Silsden. Through Silsden, straight across the the A629 to Steeton and onto another back road route into Haworth, stopping for a morning break and using the Museum car park BD22 8DS (70p fee, download the Ring Go app for ease).
