I 'rode' Old Road today out of Buxton, (off the A5004). Considered it a test dummy situation, with me being the dummy. Short story is that it still consists of smashed up rocks and a sliver of broken road that teases you for about a mile even though you can't ride on it. Essentially impassable without walking (stumbling) or hike a bike or serious injury lol. That is before you think about it on a loaded tourer or in bad weather. It does avoid the busy traffic = 0 cars on it. The dog that tried to attack me a couple of years ago from the farm at the bottom wasn't there today either, so I guess that is a plus too. Maybe he got bored.
