1st Ride out after lockdown A537 Cat and Fiddle inc Winnats Pass, Bakewell, Goyt Valley and Drone.

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 มิ.ย. 2020
- In this episode I venture out for the first time since the easing of lock down from Covid 19 (Corona virus).
Taking the opportunity to take out the Panasonic x900 video camera with the DSLR Canon 5D Mk iii plus the Mavic pro drone. All the gear in fact that I needed to refresh myself with. I headed for the Derbyshire Peak District.
Starting off riding through Clumber Park, Chesterfield and Two Dales I stop off at Bakewell for a spot of lunch by the river.
Continuing on through Buxton I find the A537, the Cat and Fiddle road which lives up to all expectations and shows me why it is one of the top 10 most dangerous roads in Great Britain.
Next comes Goyt Valley right through the centre of the Peak District to Mam Tor for another stop off.
After taking in the amazing views over Mam Tor I ride down Winnats Pass to Castleton then through Hathersage to a random layby for a bit of Drone footage.

That's a beautiful part of the world Steve. Enjoyed that, here in Wales we still aren't allowed further than 5 miles from our homes. Looking forward to catching up with England. Cheers.
HOPEFULLY YOU WONT BE TO LONG BEFORE YOU CAN DO RIDE OUTS AGAIN, STAY SAFE FRIEND.
Love this guy ride outs. Seen one where he went to red lion & Manor House…. Man I went last weekend and what a beautiful spot
Thanks for watching Chris pleased you enjoy them and had a good run out yourself.
Good to see you back Mr C - it really is a lovely part of the world and not too far from home; you ever thought of taking a shot of your tank-bag route and sticking it on the end of your clip? Looking forward to next one, stay safe mate.
Never thought of doing that my friend but have sent my prompt sheets to people who request them. But you have me thinking now cheers. Stay safe mate
That was a cracking ride out Steve. I was lucky enough to be taken over the Cat and Fiddle road on my advanced rider test, a road I know well living only 20 minutes away from it. Well done on more than 3000 subs it is well deserved, you always have quality videos which I enjoy watching and obviously I am not alone in that opinion. Ride safe.
Thanks for watching and for taking the time to leave a positive comment and you are one lucky guy living only 20 mins away from such great roads and scenery. Ride Safe and stay safe my friend.
that was great ,one off the best rides .stay safe pal.
Pleased you enjoyed it my friend, ride safe.
Enjoyed that Steve... as all of your uploads mate. Thx for sharing a cracking ride with us once again buddy.... All the best from Spalding, Lincolnshire
Thanks Mark pleased you enjoyed it my friend.
Enjoyed that thanks for showing us
Cheers Steven really appreciate it my friend pleased you enjoyed
Thanks for such a great video, Steve. I'm hoping to visit Derbyshire and the Peak District in a few weeks time on my bike.
One of the best area's in Britain to ride a bike Chris IMO ride safe my friend.
Great video. If you do this one again, when you get to Errwood Reservoir, continue on the same road and don’t cross the dam. You’ll love that road also, and it takes you back up to the cat and fiddle
Thanks Matthew really appreciate the tips and really will give it a go when we are all set free 👍 fingers crossed, stay safe my friend.
like the road trips gives me good ideas well good yam yam
Thanks Terry let's hope we can get out soon my friend. Stay safe bud
Awesome! I used to work out of macclesfield, id ride up from sleaford in Lincolnshire and stay up there till Friday. On a sunny day after work id always hit the cat and fiddle I only had a Yamaha wr 125 and it made short work of those hills. Its a great place to explore up their! My favourite part though was goyt vally, absolutely stunning little road! And its great to see it on your video!
Your so right Brandon Hoyt valley is simply stunning, thanks for watching my friend and stay safe
@@Steve-Clark i sure will cheers buddy!
Great video as usual Steve, we’ve been to the Peak District many times but can’t believe we’ve missed the Goyt valley! Don’t think we’ve seen Bakewell so empty, just wish we lived nearer, NE London is a bit too far for a days run out. Safe riding.... Geoff
Pleased you enjoyed it Geoff thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Ride Safe fella.

I have just realised what is different about your RT I am on my fourth interaction of the RT, never needed additional mirrors though. Great bike, i had a black one like yours for a couple of years, then had a k1600GT for a while, but back onto RT’s again, love them .
Thanks Alan, I didn't need additional mirrors as the originals work fine but prefer the ones higher that I have added. Bit jealous I have always wanted a K1600 GT and maybe one day will get one. Ride safe my friend.
Good to see you back Steve as always great video and excellent drone footage.Ride safe and stay safe look forward to your next outing on the Bike.
Thanks Kevin pleased you enjoyed it mate was a top day out, Stay Safe my friend.
Hi Steve. Great to see you out and about again. Many thanks for sharing that trip with us. Still in lockdown myself due to health issues but you brought back very good memories of me and the lads week in Buxton about 5 years ago. You always seam to find the best roads though. I will have to follow more of your routes when I get out again. Ride safe. Mike.
Hi Mike sorry to hear that your still in lockdown my friend thanks for watching and hope the virtual ride helped. Stay safe my friend and hope your out and about soon.

I grew up there, Buxton, I've ridden all those roads on many different bikes from 125's to 1000cc's 100% agree they are stunning during summer, Winter..?
If you take the next left after the Cat, you get on a road that takes you to the junction at the Red Setter!
Thanks for watching my friend and appreciate the comment and tip will bear that in mind next cheers

Pleased you enjoyed fella, thanks for watching and have a good run out.
Great have you back you've been riding round my back yard I'm 20 mins away from Bakewell. After watching your NC500;vlog from last year I decided to do it this year bookings made and paid. Unfortunately we were due to be away June 21st for 8 days. Well that's not happening now !!
Thanks fella and your lucky to live that close to this beautiful place.shame about your trip mate but the roads will still be there when you can go.
Welcome back missed ya matey.
Cheers Kevin it's good to be back trust me. Thanks for watching fella
I have always enjoyed watching your videos . My HONDA CTX700D ABS
is in Morocco. I went there last October and sorted all the paperwork and the logbook for it and a Moroccan number plate.
Thanks Farid and happy riding in Morocco my friend.
Nice to see you bud You got a grand day for it cheers
It was a cracking day weather wise and enjoyment wise. Big smiles all day
@@Steve-Clark Thanks again pal
All my local roads 😄 I live in chapel en le Frith . Lovely to watch 👍🏻
Wow you lucky fella it's beautiful there.
Yet another wonderful video Steve. I'm only 20 minutes from the Cat and Fiddle, though I usually avoid it now. You seemed to enjoy it, but I think the state of the road surface is so poor these days, I give it a miss and either go to Whaley Bridge or Congleton when I find myself in Buxton.
I remember how it was years ago, when it really was fun.
As for the mesh jackets, you can't beat them. I bought mine a few weeks ago and they are so much more comfortable in even moderate temperatures.
You are so lucky to live so near to all that beauty and agree best thing i have bought was the mesh jacket, thanks for watching fella stay safe
Great video. My regular riding 'back yard' and it's nice to see it from someone elses perspective. Does get crowded at times though.
Thanks and pleased you enjoyed it, wish it was my back yard as its simply stunning around there. Ride Safe mate.
Good to see a new vid from you. Last time Carol and I were at the Errwood reservoir water was spilling over the top of that circular plug hole overflow.
Yeah when I was there I thought it looked very low. Thanks for watching fella and keep your good vids coming please.
@@Steve-Clark Cheers Steve, always enjoy your relaxed style and route note research. Keep well and all the best.
@@Banditmanuk thanks and back at you like your variety of content, always enjoy it when you release a new one, stay safe and keep em coming.
Cool video 👍🙂 👌
Thank you and cheers for watching
Wait till you see my new bike Steve I’ll let you know when it arrives. Good video this one mate enjoyed watching it.
You've got me wondering what you have got now Col. Cheers for the comment mate hope your keeping well fella and yeah let me know when the new addition arrives
Wait until you see mine also, due in about 5 weeks, cant wait.
We need a meet up ;)
hi steve. welcome back. another great video as usual. my mate and myself followed your route to switzerland last year and loved it,
i wondered if you had the facility to print off your exact routes at the end of each ride out?.
keep up the great vids.
Thanks Reg appreciate the comment and wow pleased you have done the Swiss route it is a great trip isn't it. Regards trips and days out I do keep most of the GPX files for sat navs and have sent them to viewers who ask via email. Ride safe mate.
Nice route Steve, I should have gone with you on it that day , i wasn’t too far from there, then you could have helped me pick my bike up 😩🙄 , and I too can recommend the RST jacket 👍🏻
Thanks Mark the amount of people saying they were around on this day I could of had a gang of 20 lol. The RST jackets are great eh, ride safe mate.
Get in there Steve! welcome back ..you've been missed...I'm planning on doing the same route hopefully 1 day this week as still furloughed..any chance of sending the route you did as it looked fantastic..can't wait for your next outing.
Rich.
Hi Rich thanks for watching fella and it was a great route, if you give me your email could send you the GPX file if you want. Ride Safe my friend.
@@Steve-Clark excellent thanks Steve
Richardfurley@gmail.com
Welcome back pal ,Wish i'd have known you was up this way,could have met up, nice to see the Cat back up 'n' running,Oh if you check out Paul griffiths channel you're probably not far behind him and Ray 😂
Cheers Rick and have watched Paul's channel and we nearly went on same route as you say 🤣
Great video Steve you rode past my old local (Robin Hood) I grew up in that area. FYI the Cat and Fiddle is now owned by a local gin company and they plan to open a distillery which will be the highest in the country.
Ride safe pal
Thanks for that info always great when viewers inform me of things on my route. And you were lucky to live in such a beautiful place. Keep safe my friend
the cat n fiddle was open today car park full of bikes they opened pub for tea n coffee
Just found your channel, researching for my solo NC500plus tour next month. Your videos were brilliant of Scotland, very helpful.I am also from North Lincs and my first stop is the Kinross Travelodge but I am using the brilliant A68 up to the Edinburgh by-pass.Then I also am going through the Cairngorms to Dingwall. Can't wait!!!
Just working my way through your great videos, I was at Mam Tor last week, and Willingham Woods, as in another of your videos. I have just returned to bikes after a gap of 36 years, and loving my 900 Hornet! If you ever come to Barton Bike night, I might bump into you, I live here.Loving the content, thankyou for the effort you put into the videos!!
Thanks Nige appreciate you taking the time to comment my friend. Very pleased you found the vids of some use to helping a little with the NC500 you are going to be blown away by the roads and scenery fella.
Ride Safe Nige and great to hear from a local and yeah hopefully bump into each other at some point.
Nice one
Cheers Jeff 👍
@@Steve-Clark th-cam.com/video/8S-Z0l6yjO0/w-d-xo.html
Think we had same idea...
An excellent video thanks just watch overtaking on solid white lines though 🥴
Thanks John and I just got out before the solids if you look again but I agree it was pretty close and really don't get that close normally.
I accept the observation. Thanks again John.
@@Steve-Clark With all due respect, it wasn't "pretty close", it was a blatant disregard for the solid white lines, and would get you 3 points on your licence, no doubt about it !!
Nice ride though :-)
Mr. Clark. I think it’s great that even mega well respected riders can make minor fo pars, it makes me feel a whole lot better. Nobody’ s perfect, those who think they are, are just kidding themselves. Keep up the good work Steve.
Thanks for letting us tag along 😎🏍💨💨💨💨🇨🇦 cheers from B.C. some great scenery. What year is your Beamer.
Hey thanks for watching John and taking the time to comment my friend. The beamer is an 06 plate fella but still has only 16000 miles on the clock. It only had 5000 when I got it 2 yrs ago.👍
HI Steve, thanks for some great videos enjoy your ride outs in the Derbyshire dales up the Cat & Fiddle and beyond also your SC500 which i am hoping to do this year 2021 but who knows. how do you like your BMW bike from your pan. Ok take care stay safe mate. MICKY
Hi Micky pleased your enjoying the vids fella and really hope you get to do the NC500. Love the BMW it's a great machine, stay safe my friend.
We've still got our Scotland tour booked for September. It's still on hotels booked and confirmed. Good to see you out again Steve what's up with the gang going with you this time.
Cheers Keith hope it all goes ahead for you mate. This one was to refresh myself with all my filming gear so chilled on my own. 👍
