Lovely part of the world that, Ive been up that little stream on the snake pass too... went on the Xevo in 2009.

Ive never detoured off the road but there were plenty of ramblers up there so might have a wonder next time, Glossop is lovely too

Dambuster's practised on derwent water which is next to lady bower, which is what you ride past when coming off the snake pass.

Usually at end of summer when the water is low in derwent, you can see remains of some buildings in the water as both reservoirs used to be villages that were flooded for drinking water in the early 1900's.

ALthough I like derwent water more for the duck's in the car park. It's pretty cool. Thousands of them, and if you feed them they will engulf you and are so tame as to eat out your hands and let you stroke them.

Good Pics, ages since I was on those roads.
Now here's an obscure Dambusters link, In the '70s I was in the RAF and used to do the Lincoln to Bury run every few weeks along the A57 and A628 Woodhead Pass. I was stationed at RAF Scampton, home of 617 Squadron (The Dambusters), though they were flying Avro Vulcans at that time. There, I told you it was obscure...
I was riding/driving a Suzuki GT250k, Bond Bug, Triumph Dolomite Sprint or a Honda CX500 at the time. Ah! happy days.
