I couldn't find a thread to fit this one, so I've started one (mods please move it you find something more suitable).

Now I have means to finally download from my video camera, there's no stopping me with the musical road videos (thanx for the idea, Bryn!).

So here's my second effort - the A537 Cat & Fiddle.

Great video, recognise parts of that road from Traffic Cops and the like.

Nice one Serena. Cat and fiddle is one of my favourite roads. My daughter lives in Macc so I use this route often when we go the "pretty route".

I've driven it many times, ploughed it a couple of times, been for material on it numerous times, and drunk/ate in the C & F on a number of occasions, never get fed up of it

Did the prat that ovetook you just after the C & F make it to Buxton just two cars before you?

I think it is brilliant. Do you mind if I link to it from Rural Roads?

Many thanks,

Simon

Hang on, we drive on the 'proper' side of the road, here! :wink:

Anyway, excellent video Sabrista, well done! I used to this sort of thing when I was little whenever we went on holiday. I still have about half of my own recordings on video cassette to this day which must go back about 15 years! Watching your video brought back some happy memories!

I used to use the A537 fairly regularly when I was little on trips to Buxton and the various caverns in the area, so I recognised a lot of the road from that video. Sadly, I haven't used it for at least 18 months now (probably a little more than that) and it seems the plague of yellow backed signs has grown further. Still, an excellent road!

I know the road fairly well - the lack of any sort of protection against falling off the edge can be daunting at times! Good to see the C+F is still well populated by bikers!

You'll have to get another video of the road in the snow - that's when it really becomes interesting along there!

Call me thick, but I presume the video is going at about 1.5x real-time?

You're thick!

It looks like 2x to me.

I still prefer the A515

If I hadn't sped up the C&F it would have been over 15 minutes long!

As for the Grane Road one, speeding that up made it fit the song exactly.

Not whingeing, but if I was the second cyclist overtaken in that video the driver would have got a mouthful of abuse. With no solid white line and no oncoming traffic there's no need to pass a bike that close.
