  • Motorcycle Touring Doesn't always go right! In this motorcycle Vlog we continue our Tour of Scotland, Wales, Ireland and England on our BMW R1240 GS Adventure by making our way to the Peak District to ride the recommended Snake Pass.
    Running short on time we skip some destinations on our Motorcycle navigation unit and end up riding through Bradford city centre in rush hour - what a mistake.
    The Peak District and Snake pass is a much welcomed break from the chaos of the city.

    Great video of my local stomping ground. Sadly you witnessed in Bradford what is becoming the norm in many British provincial towns.
    The Snake Pass and the Cat and Fiddle are infamous for their nasty accidents, hence the 50 mph limit!
    The Snake Pass is actually named after a local Coat of Arms rather than the curvy nature of the road.
    I'm sad the Peak District seemed to let you down. Unfortunately it's getting worse; villages and beauty spots are getting very crowded and people in general are getting more fractious.
    I hear Switzerland is nice...... 😂
    Thanks again for your great videos 🙏

      Hi, thanks! Great to hear you enjoyed the video.
      Really sad to see what Bradford has become, looked like it was full of character in a bygone era.
      Yeah from what people have said that road had become a bit of a racetrack! -a few ruining it for the many.
      Ahh okay! That’s interesting about the cost of arms so thanks for the info 👍🏻
      The peak district was great but with all the roadworks and wrong turns (our fault) it felt a bit stop and start, plus we started the day in the Lake District so was a big day 😁. Haha yeah Switzerland ain’t bad 😉
      Glad you enjoy the videos and thanks for leaving a comment 😎🙌🏻

      @@SeanandEmily yeah, the Coat of Arms involved a Snake and is connected to Chatsworth Hall Estate and the Duke of Devonshire. There used to be a pub at the bottom of the Snake Pass aptly called the Snake Pass Inn!
      The Peak District is lovely and full of great places it's just a pity there's so many roadworks and crowds!!
      All the best 👌

    Brilliant ride. Great video content. Takes me back to my youth on my Honda 400F. Have a great trip back to Switzerland. Happy days from Scotland.

      Thanks! Graf you enjoyed it and even better it brought back fond memories. The 400F is a great looking bike, the 4 pipes out of the cylinders looks awesome -take some polishing though 😁.
      Thanks very much, just a few more episodes to go on this playlist before the next adventure. Cheers 😊👍🏻

    Ive just returned from a 4k mile trip round Scandinavia, talk about no signal, however, I've binned my BMW Navs, and now using the Carpuride 702B, clips straight into the BMW mount. Using google maps through Andriod Auto. I left the UK wondering if the network coverage would cause issues, so i downloaded all the maps i needed at home. Not once did my Carpuride stop navigating. Worked a treat, and with the 7 inch huge clear screen, ill be keeping it, in fact, it will be fitted to my new R1300GSA When i collect it.

    The peak district has some fabulous (and infamous) roads (snake pass, cat n fiddle etc) but they now have low speed limits and draconian enforcement on them. No doubt brought about by many accidents because of people driving/riding excessively fast and coming to grief! It is a beautiful part of the world though and well with a visit, just don't expect the riding to be as you think!

      Hey Jonathan, nice place that! We didn’t get to see everything we planned to see due to road closures. Yeah we noticed a few ‘sporty’ guys so guessing at times it gets a bit crazy!

      Haha did it get you too? 🤣 only skipped a few points thinking it would save time lol ! Stuck in traffic in the centre of Bradford we see wondering if the Peak District had been moved 🤣🤣.
      Those ULEZ zones are a right pain!
