Stunning weather to show it at its best. The village of Monyash has become a popular biker meeting place with a cafe and pub by the village green.

Hi peakwonderer. Yes, I was lucky with the weather. I still need to head over to Monyash to see what it’s like. Maybe I’ll go this Sunday if the weather is still good. Thanks for watching and thanks for leaving me a comment 👍

Good vid as always. Being from Buxton you're right there are so many roads around the area that are far better than the fiddle. The Derbyshire side is far worse maintained than the Cheshire side. The only reason the council patched up the section you pointed out on the Derbyshire side was due to an elderly Gentleman riding a motorbike having an accident due to the horrendous road surface and unfortunately passed away. Derbyshire county Council should be ashamed of themselves.

Hi Anthony. I’m shocked to read that! No wonder they patched it up. Thank you for watching my video and thanks for leaving me such a great comment 👍

I was told by a traffic copper recently that a 50 didn't have to be maintained to the same standard and as a NSL... no wonder the local councils like the 50's.

Had my very first accident on this road last week. Buxton to Macc. Came off on the corner between the Inn and the tea room. Bloody gravel!

Hi Psyste. It’s always been bad on the Buxton side by unfortunately, the condition of the whole road has really deteriorated over the years. There are lots of places on the inside of corners where I’m guessing the truck tyres are clipping them and breaking up the edge of the road. It then throws the loose gravel across the road, causing a hazard. I hope you are okay and hopefully your bike is still rideable. Thank you for watching our video and thanks warning us of the gravel between the cat n fiddle and the cafe.

@@mymoto-uk thanks. My bike is ok just a bit of cosmetic damage. One side of me is pale and pasty(like normal) but the other side looks like a lava lamp🤣
