I was out today, driving between leek & buxton, loads of fun twisty roads when I saw this...
http://www.tetrainteractive.com/cosm...sti2/view1.jpg Can't really tell in the piccys but it was very narrow, twisty & very very steep (i reckon -25/30%), just had a new clutch so thought it would be a good idea to take the scooby down the track & see what was round the corner! Off we go..! :) http://www.tetrainteractive.com/cosm...sti2/view2.jpg All was going well got to the bottom with no trouble.. http://www.tetrainteractive.com/cosm...sti2/back2.jpg and.. http://www.tetrainteractive.com/cosm...ti2/front3.jpg But it got abit bumpy going up the other side, car is quite low.. http://www.tetrainteractive.com/cosm...ti2/front2.jpg Got round the corner, just a field full of sheep, was abit dissapointed! lol!, coming back down again was scary, big cliff to the left.. http://www.tetrainteractive.com/cosm...i2/driver1.jpg Got my foot stuck in cattle grid for this shot ;) http://www.tetrainteractive.com/cosm...sti2/back1.jpg Parked up, no damage! http://www.tetrainteractive.com/cosm...ti2/front1.jpg Sorry for the poor pictures, taken on my phone And *Special Stupid Pointless Poor Quality Video Clicky!!* 4.59mb [Edited by sti555 - 1/8/2004 11:20:49 PM] |

Gotta laugh though " parked up no damage"......hehe common sense kicked back in then ;) Spooks |
Spooks is was fun, trying to use the car as much as I can before my date with the wooden tops (19th Jan) & my immenient ban :(
it was a weird place though, little tiny farm house with about 200 sheep in a pen, no one about... ran over a large animal turd for a laugh at the top cliff.. was expecting it to be soft, but was rock hard, lol!....Bloody cold too Watch out for episode 2 coming soon.. Suggestions or ideas Anyone?? :) |
Made me laugh, great story. Disappointing end mind. Good photos off of a phone though.
:) |

The phone is spv e200, video coming shortly.. :)
Not quite sure where the place was, my mate says it's near the roaches (spelling??) if that helps :) |
scoobygav,
prob will be there over the weekend, it's a nice bit of road, was just a tad too wet today, would'nt like to lose it on one of the corners/drops though! :) |
Excellent pics and narrative! :) Lucky there was no other traffic about to see you randomly stopping the car, jumping out and taking pictures of it! ;)
|
Ok People,
Just done a stupid pointless poor quality video, again done on phone, only 5fps as low memory.. Off for a fag, have a look anyway! Clicky 4.59mb :) |
ajm,
thanks for the comments! ;) |
... ran over a large animal turd for a laugh at the top cliff..
lol, easily amused then? :D the whole episode sounds like something I'd do - except I'd have managed to get stuck down there somehow ;) :D nice work mate, keep it up :D |
"...ran over a large animal turd for a laugh at the top cliff.. was expecting it to be soft, but was rock hard, lol!....Bloody cold too..."
I can understand you noticing how hard it was (suspension i expect) but how & more to the point why did you take its temperature??? ;) |
Hi all, great roads around that area, use to live in Buxton so I know all the twisty dirt lanes :) There are some good roads just off the main Buxton - Leek road A53. As you are heading towards Buxton past the winking man pub you come to a crossroad, take the right heading towards Longnor, at the start of that road 5 to 600 yards there is one hell of a jump:) & the rest is pure fun:) If you want a fast twisty road then try the A5004 Buxton to whaley Bridge, then once you do that go to the goyt vally 4 a chillout & an icecream :) Then out of the goyt & that will take you onto the cat & fiddle road. Give them a try if you like them i have got loads more to surgest :) Happy safe driving.
Tim :):) |
