Title: Peak District
Post by: keith3po on April 03, 2014, 06:19:35 AM

I thought the weather was improving so set off for a ride into the Peak district over the Snake Pass to Sheffield and back over the A628.

Same as the fog we got at Mt Hotham and always got in Victoria regardless of the time of year.

Might have looked the same, but I'll bet it was different. 
Pommie water vapour rather than our pure mists.

Looks like the weather we had from Canberra to Batemans bay this year.

Some great riding roads there mate - just have to get rid of the traffic!     :cuss

Also - is deer darting out on the road a problem there? Looks like not much warning if one decides to go across at pace in some places.      :eek

Thanks for sharing.     :thumb

Cheers, Diesel

We don't have the same problem with wildlife as you guys it does happen but very rare, more likely to meet sheep on road.  :wink1
