Who knows routes in the North Pennines?

[Flatline]

Been looking at gmaps

Thinking about a route from Brough to Middleton in Teesdale

Up to Alston then across to Stanhope

Down to Eggleston then Barnard Castle

Or from Stanhope over to Wolsingham then down to Bedburn and on to Eggleston/Barnard Castle

Anyone know if this is a good ride?

Don't really want to go any higher north

buttertubs pass? winds its way from Simonstone (nr Hawes) to Thwaite, or blubberhouses? north of Harrogate (a59 IIRC) and of course the ribble via duct to Hawes, any of those would be worthy of inclusion to any route.
