Hi everyone, Iam going to Pickering from Cumbria tommorow and just wondered if i would be ok going up Sutton Bank in my Hymer. It would help if i knew someone had done it before with no trouble.

Be very, very careful cos you're entering my neck of woods and I are after a B564. You might find yourself ambushed halfway up Sutton Bank and being turfed out your van, just when you're at your most vulnerable searchin' for a gear lower than first.
The Bank is a breeze really, not sure why there's so much fuss about it, what with the tugger diversionary route and all.
If the van's in good nick with a lusty engine you should have no problem whatsoever.

Thanks for that folks, I think i will attempt it as the van was new last year and seems to have plenty of power. Oh and i had better look out for Steamdrivenandy and lock all the doors just in case

Don't worry Liners, if it's an '07 on the X2/50 then I'll not hijack you, it's too long for our drive and with 6 gears to choose from you should be able to find one somewhere to get you up there.
Have a good trip.

You really shouldn't have said that Liners, there's beads of lust breaking out on my brow as I type. Just to put my mind at rest is it dinette, bar or L shaped, 3500 or 3900kg?
Anyhoo I know people are saying that the queues around Pickering for the Northern Motorhome Show are going to be horrendous but setting off in July for a show in mid September seems a tad pessimistic.

Hi
Sutton bank, no problem.
Done it in our Hymer several times a bit more worrying in our rally car after finishing two special stages and run out of brakes. Handbrake on full and first gear screaming away.
Seriously it will not be a problem, take your time and keep in the right gear.
