Brilliant and puts a genuine smile on my face to see you ladies getting out and about on your motorbikes. Not enough of you on bikes. Shame. Enjoy your self.
Forgot to mention that Snake Pass has quite a few blind corners that suddenly get very tight where you realize that whatever speed you were doing you were still going too fast :D
It is lethal and is definitely NOT a good road to bike on unless the conditions are perfect and you ride it regularly, even then chunks of road can disappear over night. I entered the road once and 5 minutes later the radio told me that it was closed... Behind me.. 5 minutes later I was in one foot snow and couldn't see the edges.. PLEASE don't advertise this as it's already sad death toll will rise exponentially.

The Snake Pass is a tame road compared to the A537 Cat and Fiddle between Buxton and Macclesfield even with the 50mph speed limit. It's brilliant in either direction. Even the Strines road from Stocksbridge to Lady Bower is a more challenging road than Snake Pass. Try those routes out if the A57 excites you.
@@grahammay6917 - it was due to open back up, but obviously it's delayed due to this Covid crap. It's been took over by a micro-brewery and will be a tea room too, probably develop over the next year or so to what customers want.
The road was named after the inn, but the inn was originally called The Snake Inn. A later owner renamed it The Snake Pass Inn after the road it was on, creating the weird situation of the inn being named after the road that was named after it.
Greetings from Manchester.... Loved your video.....It was great to see my old stomping ground where I used to live ( Glossop ) .... Keep up the great work....😁📽️👍👊✌️🍻🏍️
I grew up on Gamesley, so The Snake, Strines and Woodhead were like training roads for us - and Glossop Road to Marple, Monks Road over the Budgie Perch, Chunal etc..
Cool video - wanted to bike this since travelling it (car passanger) over 4 years now, and a regular passenger back and fourth , looking at it finally very soon 😀
No idea how I haven't seen this one before was just looking up some stats on Snake Pass, what puzzles me is a lot of the footage - particurily the drone footage - is on Winnats pass not Snake. Whilst it isn't far away as the crow flies it is by road.
I just stumbled across your channel. Looks like you’ve got a ton of great content. Subscribed for sure, and looking forward to viewing your many episodes. Just wondering, what bike were you riding in this episode? Happy Trails!
@@SaffySprocket was up their today aswell🤘 if you want some good food aswell lady bower cafe on route is lovely and friendly staff with plenty of like minded bikers
That’s my favourite ride, especially when the tea stop in the lay-by near the reservoir is open. It’s a 50 limit but I always get overtaken by “enthusiastic” sport bike riders
Snake is Glossop to Lady, Edale is nice but not part of Snake. The lakes passes in a day outstrip the Snake. I would always head Yorkshire dales and Lakes. Get down Honister pass, Rynose pass, Hardknot pass and Kirkstone pass then you are riding. Rideyourlife Ade
Yes Britain is really small and I have same problem . Going off main A and seek the small single backroads. I enjoyed North York Moors and NC500 was awesome ride. #Rideyourlife
try the A686, Penrith to Hayden Bridge passing through various places like Melmerby and Alston to Hayden Bridge its a longish run but well worth the time. I've done it on the bike (several times) in the car in a lorry and once, and I apologise for all those I delayed, a 45 ton mobile crane.( The transmission was very warm upon arrival at Penrith )
@@SaffySprocket yeah, all the time! Great roads...fave loop is coming into peaks through Snake Pass up to Grindleford then Yondermann and head back to Manchester via Snake Pass...great loop!
The Peak District is rich of worthy roads! Lovely area. I got over taken by some nutter on snakes pass (I was on a tour bike) scared s*** outta me! 😂 I think you should go into tv presenting! 👍🏻 maybe make the vids a bit longer, really enjoyed it 👍🏻
Cool video, I'll l have to go and check that out. Not sure what bike I should take there. I usually take the GSA on a trip where I can take the drone & other camera stuff, but that looks like sporty affair.
If you're talking about the Snake Pass, why have you got several drone shots of Winnats Pass, which is a completely different things all together in terms of location and style of road?
If you want amazing corners and perfect road surface try the A483 from Newtown to Crossgates then A44 to Rhayader A470 to Aberystwyth . The last half has amazing scenery. Great outdoor cafe with bike park in Aberystwyth
Small world, username Kate is doing great now she's gone full time TH-cam, I've been passing your videos on to my youngest lad to show what you can do in your first year of riding, he's looking at taking his direct access some time this year 🤞, the only thing holding someone back from seeing some great places is a lack of confidence in your riding ability or maybe yourself, like Kate you've done some great journeys, maybe you and Kate should get together again👍
Half the clips seem to be Winnats Pass? A lot of people will probably suggest Wrynose, Hardknott, Applecross (Scotland) passes and things like that. Kirkstone Pass in Cumbria is quite nice But, I would recommend going up through The Trough of Bowland and enjoying the roads there, more enjoyable than the passes imho.
How about the road commonly known as the Yorkshire TT? It actually runs between Helmsley and Stokesly in North Yorkshire. Officially it’s a stretch of the B1257. 🏍🏍👍👍
Somewhere on TH-cam there’s a video of someone doing Wrynose &Hardknott in a Citroen C6. It’s about 25 or 30 minutes long and is most entertaining. I’ve done it a few times, one of which was in a VW Polo and again in a Citroen CX Prestige. I’ve driven almost every road in Britain when I was a delivery driver, none compare to that road through those two passes in the Lake District for hair raising bends, dips, blind summits and spectacular views.
@@malcolmherbert5127 if I knew how to drive and video I'd make one, i go over that way quite a lot. Only in a chevy though which isnt very exciting 😂 not been brave enough to do it in the 911 yet😬
The Snake Inn has been closed for ages, and I'm not even sure if it's re-opening or not, there was no sign up last time I went round. And the cameras are usually only on the safe bit - the straight with the hill - so if you're stuck behind someone all the way along, get to a safe overtake place, there's a jam sandwich waiting for you with their hand out.
You certainly did see. Winnats. Suspect that came back to Glossop via Bamford, Hope, Castleton, Winnats, Sparrowpit, Chapel’, Hayfield..... A nice round trip.👍
Not much of the Snake shown on that vid and as regards being smooth ????. Although it's been resurfaced in parts it,s dangerously bumpy at speed. I have been airborne 3 times. Also turn the dreadful music off.
Agree about the bumpiness - especially near the Snake Inn, there's a serious subsidence around that area, one of those 'bumps' seriously put me off sports bikes. The music is their choice though :) And, yeah, I noticed the Winnats Pass clips.
As far as i understand it the snake pass is most well know for its unusually high number of RTA fatalities. Pretty sure its been the case for decades and decades. Its a quite nice road but far from exceptional.
Yes! It has extremely tight twisty corners and sharp inclines. Some of the path is pure gravel and even great riders slide. I suspect it wont be long before the average speed cameras pop up!
Narrow, bumpy, sheep on road, ....always,.. blind corners , not a place to go fast at all, PS Snake Pass was named after the Snake Family, hundreds of years ago.
@@SaffySprocket Think it was named from a serpentine from the Cavendish family coat of arms, wealthy landowners, they owned all the high peak. We go up lots of times, no Stiles,to climb 😃 owned by National trust now X
cool looking road. I have a video on here that I feature in as I was 1 of the 3 riders in the video, another rider recorded us riding through a state highway called "The Paraparas" in NZ which is filled with twisty bits and hills. Here's the link th-cam.com/video/x3Db6zNPO-M/w-d-xo.html Im the first bike you see

I've been friends with Kate for years now! Way before I even got into biking! She was actually encouraging me to get my full licence 😁
I went along there today. They have resurfaced some of the road. Also a few works traffic lights.

A686 one of THE best roads to bike on.
My fave ever..... Despite binning my bike (lowside) on a very sharp hairpin
Great video...Snake Pass is my "go to" route when escaping to the Peaks, an amazing road and brilliant, regardless of the direction its ridden! 🙂

Hi Saffy.. have you ridden the A483 from Newtown to Cross gates Wales. 25 miles of fast twisties!
Half the clips seem to be Winnats Pass?
A lot of people will probably suggest Wrynose, Hardknott, Applecross (Scotland) passes and things like that.
Kirkstone Pass in Cumbria is quite nice
But, I would recommend going up through The Trough of Bowland and enjoying the roads there, more enjoyable than the passes imho.
Use to live in Lancaster, Bowland is great! Can get a bit scary when the fog rolls in, its lives wave that rushes across the hills towards the road
A great vlog saffy take care
