Hey all,

Just experienced the Snake Pass on a very interesting journey back from Manchester to Milton Keynes,

just wanted to say............ FUCK ME WHAT A SUPERB ROAD, and breathtaking scenery.

Was only driving my transit connect so wasnt setting the road on fire, lol, but i was speechless after driving it.

Anyone else had the pleasure, and what were you in?

Cheers

Baz

 

Im quite local to this road belter isnt it!

 

ive done it in a landrover in 3ft of snow even when the police closed it and ive been through it as fast as i can in my focus rs. its a lovly road but plenty get killed on there as it freeze`s on there at night even in the summer.

 

Yes I do miss the driving roads up north like the snake pass, woodhead, etc now in kent it's flat down here!
Shame the police are spoiling it!

Mint road when it's not full of tourists. Watch out for flying pigs though!!



Some mint scenery but not many places to stop and take piccys, made even harder when someone parks a skip in the way lol

 

where abouts is snake pass?

 

Between Glossop and Sheffield

 

runs between sheffield and manchester also known as the A57

Had are first run on it back in december..park the car for a pic and promptley fell into 3ft of snow

 

few piccys from when i was on the pass the other weekend










great driving road when its quiet

 

nice 1 mate..u see any rabbits for me hawk up there.

 

one of my favorite roads. this summer i was going up to the peak district with m8s at least once a month for a drive. they have just re surfaced it iirc.
can remember driving a 300bhp skyline gtst with a locked rear diff through it in the frost. fook me
excellent road.

 

i went for a hammer up there a while ago in my xr4i,its a mint road,im gunna have to take the cossy up there,when kidsrs gets his done.

 

we will have to organise a big cossy run. get a few together and have a thrash round some hills.

 

only been there once,
loading at the grouse,on bits of the moor in the pics,
out in sheffield every night,lol

 

some awsome pics!!!!!


would love a hawk
what kind do you have? where do you fly it?

i didn't mate no im sure there will be though




im going out with it in the morning

 

p100 m8. the tools,bbq, chairs and jacks in back so no need aha

 

I only live 10 mins from there! It must of been shut for a month when it snowed bad

 

Yo i cant wait

 

Its a great road , only live 30mins away and like to go for a blast evey month up there , did have a close shave once when i came around a blind bend too meet a sheep in the middle of the road .

 

awesome looking bird mate, would love to have one but dont have the time

 

awesome pics and road - one day i will do it

 

Im purposely delevering something to Sheffield on Sunday instead of posting just so I can drive this road! Im not even charging for delivery either lol.

 

i fly a harris at rabbit and pheasant and a lanner falcon at partridge and maggies... i fly at north wales and harrogate and have local permission at grenoside and wharncliffe and riverlin.

my lanner.



and my harris.

 

I had the same thing when I was on my bike last year, mid corner had to stand it up n shit myself as the sheep is scampering around my front wheel.

If anyones planning a Cossie run can I play

 

awesome birds you've got,

going to look into a hawk walk, been thinking of it since we went to buterfly house near worksop and saw them fly

 

i work up that way,i drive through peak district every day and it sucks this time of year fucking snow and fog doing my head in
cat and fiddle would be a cool place for a meet in the summer,highest pub in britain apparently

 

2nd highest. TanHill is highest

tis a awsome road i go over greenfield and sadleworth moores quite a bit to theres some great roads up there too usualy cut off over homefirth over the mountain road past the big tv mast then onto sadleworth moores then drop down into green field the veiws are stunning uo there on a clear night

 

never realised,6 of the top ten highest pyubs are all up that way between leek and buxton,no wonder its so windy up there its quite high lol

 

Quick bike lap in the summer for my tea,
Greenfield past Dovies over to Compos in Holmfirth, Then either over Holme Moss or out the back of Holmfirth towards the Flouch and twat it back over Woodhead

 

dont pay to go on a hawk walk cos ill take ya for free mate.

 

Thse are fantastic shots chap - almost like from a helicopter
Whereabouts were they taken from on that road?

It's made me want to go and explore up there

 

its my fav road! and i love the area, my fav place to go climbing, fell walking/running and biking, And its fucking grat to blast up!, going to have a day out on it when my cars back on the road and waste a tank of fuel!

 

Wicked road, depends on if bellends are holding you up. Scenery makes up for it if going slow though

 

Thats coz you drive slow motors

 

Give over, you never had nowt till you got the bike!

 

Could never drive fucked old fords out of the garage

 

Somehow i fooked up big time on friday coming back from sheffield and ended up on the a6 to stockport, as the pass was shut coming back. 3 1/2 hours till i got home.
