The Snake Pass is closed! Ian's adventure

Ian Prince writes.............


Last week I had a fab Sunday on the closed A57 Snake Pass, in the Derbyshire Peak District along with many, many other cyclists and walkers following Cycling UKs legal workaround for avoiding the currently closed bit of the Snake Pass. So good in fact, I plan the same thing again next weekend. A proper CTC type “tour” including the off road bridleway / walking along the public footpath and crossing the fords. 


All follow the real legal  rules as advised by Cycling UK not the improper inept paranoid ones invented by Derbys CC because they don't implement proper engineering repair solutions to the road and are at budget year end. 

An amazing traffic free on and off road  ride!
