Trevmk3 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 only trouble with the cat n fiddle is it is now has average speed cameras all along it although the bottom road through it isnt bad (sneaky shortcut for when behind wagons and tourists
nickb Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 I'm up for it providing it doesn't clash with work and I don't get an invite to the wedding (not expecting one as I didn't invite them to mine )
Top Ghia Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 Shame about the cat and fiddle road...cos of the bikers throwing themselves at the scenery the roads been ruined. The A623s not a bad run from Baslow to Chaple en la frith,some long sweepers and tight twisty bits,although its been slowed to a 50 limit latley. The A5012 the via gellia road into matlock bath is also good but as the day is a holiday probably full of bikers. A57 Snake pass is a classic of course ladybower res to glossop. The 624 out of Glossop back towards chapel en la frith is not too bad you could link from there to winnats pass and Castleton.
Trevmk3 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 The A5012 the via gellia road into matlock bath is also good but as the day is a holiday probably full of bikers. and tourists, they are a menace on that road as you will come round a blind corner and one will be stopped in the road the matlock bath area is one to avoid on a bank holiday or a sunny sunday as traffic tails back to whatstandwell and matlock with the amount of people passing through or visiting
fridgeman Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 not too bad going from ashbourne towards buxton then turn off to tideswell and arround there.
Trevmk3 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 i will be meeting with Lenny and possibly Mick about some possible routes, stop offs, meeting points ect pretty soon
shaun1.6ghia Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 i will be meeting with Lenny and possibly Mick about some possible routes, stop offs, meeting points ect pretty soon so are you planning a 1 day run?? i would be really interested in going too but its a long way to go for one day
shaun1.6ghia Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 yeah would just be the one day ok, what sorta times you thinking as i could get a bnb an meet you all in the morning i like the idea of ashbourne to tideswell thats if the roads are good and there's a nice picturesque pub to stop off at the end for some lunch
Trevmk3 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 not sure what sort of times yet will be discussed, if nearer the time you still fancy it and want help trying to find a B&B then im sure i could try and help you out
GT_lenny Posted January 29, 2011 Author Report Posted January 29, 2011 yeah would just be the one day ok, what sorta times you thinking as i could get a bnb an meet you all in the morning i like the idea of ashbourne to tideswell thats if the roads are good and there's a nice picturesque pub to stop off at the end for some lunch early phone discussions have sort of agreed a start point near chesterfield as its easily acessible for most but we'll add more details after the 6th of feb we're deffinately planning a stop off for lunch at a pub somewhere but no idea where yet as we'll have to do a dummy run and try and get the backing of a landlord to let us occupy their carpark with some retro motors
Trevmk3 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Posted February 16, 2011 i need to arrange a day to come over to yours Lenny and we will discuss some ideas, have messaged somone on retrorides for his ideas which are pretty similar to mine that i sent you (travellers rest ect), msg me some days that are good for you and i will see what i can do
