Cat and Fiddle - Warning

That road is so over rated (grew up in Macclesfield). Much prefer this:

I went once back when I rode, never went back. Much better journeys to be had up towards the east coast and... well just about anywhere else tbh.https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/53.2658832,-2.10...

A much better way is to come up past Tegg's Nose to the Setter Dog, then take the first right after and rejoin the road just below the Cat and Fiddle.
Much quicker, better variety of road and no cameras.
I shall consult the map for this then I don't know many roads over that way. CheersMuch quicker, better variety of road and no cameras.

Lots of fast sweeping bends and hairpins, tricky downhill sections (and even a great sharp 90 bend around a house).

to the shrew
on an os map anything that is yellow or brown is likely to be interesting, green or red is likely to be full of the early retired, tea shop hunters, angry football dads and restricted to 50, extended 40's and 30' "its for a reason"
