i have the same problem, i have to avoid downs which is quite hard!
i run 44/18 or 44/14 depending on how i am feeling currently 44/18 as i've been riding in the dales a lot. i am quite tempted to whack on a freewheel on one side just for mega long days out when the downhills kill me
44/18 is a nice gear for Yorkshire.
Basically anything mid 60s seems to work quite well. I've been known to drop down to 61 when riding around dentdale and the like.

I can almost smell an FGSS attack on the Yorkshire Dales Cycle Way happening?
