If your heading from Sheffield, it is from the start of the bridge over ladybower resevoir, to where it goes intoa 30mph zone in Glossop

No cameras....

I would not attempt a fast run at it without doing a couple of normal trips over it first. Like Matt says, very easy for a crash to end in disaster....

I only live 10mins from it, and I still give the road muchos respect!
