Good vid Mick! I saw this on I think a Discovery program about worlds most dangerous roads. I thought it was closed to even hikers & cyclists a while back.

The Peak District was my favourite.

Whaley Bridge to Buxton, Buxton to Bakewell. Winnats Pass, Castleton, Chesterfield.

All good biking roads.

Too bad there are 31.7 million cars in the U.K that you have to share the road with.

There was 13 million when I left in 81.

You are right mate.Some storming roads in the north of England.If only we could just fuck off the 20 million immigrants, that have raided our country in the last 30yrs.You,and millions of other good blokes, left for a reason

The "Strada della Forra" is a fantastic road, Mick, narrow and dangerous in some stretches, but really wonderful.
Have a nice day, my friend!

No mountains though unless you go to Scotland.
