Cat & Fiddle now more dangerous

Go try honister pass up the lakes and tell me how safe it is

Not enough people respect that road it's very dangerous if your not paying attention.
But as said I have also been there around 3/4 times and had about 10 runs of the road in total and it's safe as houses for me??
To be fair if your a first timer there and following someone at stupid speed your bound to **** up.

Too many people riding at 100% (No room for error, Yes I have made error's too)

Very true. I always ride at my own pace and don't get too confident even though I've been riding over that road since I started riding nearly 15 years ago (that's a long time...) so probably know it quite well really. Even then it's too easy to push it a bit much and scare yourself - it's learning from that that's the key, and then it becomes a lovely road that's dead rewarding and good fun

Yeah, that's a good one. Kirkstone pass and the road down Ullswater's a good one too The other passes scare the hell out of me
