Anyone know if Winnats pass, Road under rush ups is open (A6187) ?

If not, Road from Brough via Bradwell to A623, then onto Sparrow pit is open ?

Many thanks.

Yes, still open, that's the only connecting road from Castleton to the west so they keep it open although it's often quite alarming to drive it!

Snake Pass and Cat & Fiddle are both closed, A53 from Buxton over to Leek has re-opened but is still pretty bad.

Woodhead's closed as well, or was last time I looked earlier today. And the Monk's Road out of Charlesworth if that bothers anyone.

Driving that road is scary enough in good weather!

Cheers, Really surprised Winnats is open.. looks like I'll have to go to work tomorrow then

That's interesting, is it called Monks road due to access to the Church up there ?

I take it that the A57 is open as far as Ladybower and that you can then get to Bamford?

Anyone know for sure?

Oi! That's my pet local road climb - the ideal finish to any ride ending in sunny Glossop 🙂
