^^The section below the Peaks wasn't so bad. Wide roads, moderate traffic, not too many hairy junctions. A couple of stretches did make me little uncomfortable, but these never lasted for very long. Also, the homeward leg was also completed at night, and with no traffic around I thought the A road rattle home made for a reassuringly easy end to the day.
Lovely Peaks! It's a top route. Holme Moss made for a great half way marker.
Extra snacks are needed for the stretch after Glossop, I found nothing by way of food stops between there and the eventual popping out of the Peaks near Ashbourne, and even then it was a way to the nearest garage.
