JeffC Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 think ive just been over the cat and fiddle road picked up a car in macclesfield tonight and headed over some canny impressive roads satnav took me through through Glossop and other villiages and headed back towards Sheffield and up the M1 home .. that is a very nice road with some cracking corners and was fun even in a diesel X5 would be mint on a bike or even better in the westy am almost jealous if the Manchester boys with that road on the doorstep did see alot of repairs in the dry stone walls though Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Top road, but can be unforgiving; you really wouldn't want to get it wrong. Quote

cast iron Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 cat an fiddle has the highest pub in the world at the top well derbyshire , used as setting for some double glazing adds, on telly at one time by some geezer celeb. If yer ever saw the adds , that is , can't remeber his name Your wrong there I'm afraid Bernie. The highest inn is Tan Hill and it was Everest double glazing with Ted Moult!! Afterwards they were made to take it all out due to not getting planning permission Quote
pistonbroke Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Yea! but Tan Hill isn't in Derbyshire and nobody ever heard of it anyway. Not like the famous cat n fiddle Ted Moult . Mr Everest galazing , had a long running gardening prog on telly ? What he didnt know about tworms wasnt worth knowing Quote
pistonbroke Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Kinneck did'nt know this Ted Moult suicide Quote
