Postcode is CA12 5XN if you want to see how scary the pass is on google earth, or the like.

thought it looked familiar but looking at your location I thought the pic would be from somewhere in the Midlands. I was impressed with your northern looking hills!

Been years since I was up there, will have to do it either this year or early next year. Was meant to go when leading a rideout this summer but errrrrr lost my bearings a bit

knew what that was straight away as I took an near identical photo at the Hardy Bikers meet last year...or was it this year....anyway, superb road, even in February with snow everywhere hehe

I have that scene somewhere, with me riding one of my SVs down it. In fact think its one of Miss YCs pics! Easily recognisable

Apart from the mine on the left, there was not a lot else to photograph. Did the mine trip though. pretty good.
