RedM Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 If you look at Snake Pass on Google Maps you can see that it is labelled 'Around the Peak District'. The route goes for miles and looks very twisty and hill in parts. In some places it is a bit difficult to see where it goes but I will write up the whole route later. Maybe start at Ladybower and do the whole route. I may drive it this weekend in case it is a bit difficult for the lowered, kitted members. What do you all think?

If it's the normal route for snakepass to manchester there is no clearence issues what so ever as I have driven over snake pass 3 times (6 in total) with the soop and I am low and have never had any issues not even a hint of a rub anywhere.

jamesmark Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 theres a few dips and bumps which could cause a few bad bounces Snakepass is a busy route, somehow I don't think we will get up to any speeds for the bumps to cause a problem, all the Sunday drivers will be out in force lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 The "Around the Peak District" route. Assuming a start near Ladybower. -Head towards Glossop on Snake Road A57 -Turn right in the centre of Glossop onto the B6105 (Norfolk Street?). This road has speed bumps at the start and is bumpy and rutted. -At the A628 turn right and then shortly after take a left onto the A6024. -At Hepworth, after some proper twisties, turn right onto the B6106 -At the A616 just south of Crowedge, turn right, Continue over the A628. -Turn right off the A616 towards Midhopestones (Mortimer Road). -This goes on for ages before reaching the A57 again. A right turn takes you down to Ladybower. This LINK ahould display Google Maps with the Peak District route visible to the North and West. You can follow it on the map (hybrid version works best) for an idea of the drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would still be up for it but does not look like anyone is going, now there is a famous saying that springs to mind, it contains the words "can't, piss up and brewery" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flukey-lukey Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Ok, I'm fixed and still up for this if anyone else is?? Bad weather for snake pass though... turned out it was my fuel pump controller which had died, so I did the 12v mod and now everything is spot on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
