I was at the Cat and fiddle on the J last weekend (was the highest pub that stayed open all year round). Great ride and the bike rode faultlessly. I'm just starting to get confident about its reliability and getting further from home. I still have the old brittle wiring loom on and like to know the missus is only about an hour or so away with the keys to the van.

Not been up the Cat & Fiddle in years, last time I was there were marked & unmarked Police cars & bikes every where, there were old bill with radar guns hiding behind every Hedge, and to quote the Movie/Song 'they even had a Bear in the Air'.

Not been up there since.

I think that was when MCN called it the best motorcycling road in the uk and everyone suddenly decided to use it as a race track leading to multiple deaths. Now it is average speed cameras but 50mph is enough through most of the bendy bits.

The average speed cameras seem to have been effective in bringing down the traffic speeds-I hate to say it but if everyone gets the ride home then is it a bad thing?
Is the Cat and Fiddle pub open now, it was closed the last time I went past on the way to Matlock

Hi Steve I think the cat and fiddle is now a gin making distillery it was on a program called fletchers farm

Yep ,I didn't know until I watched that program. Apparently about 6 years since it closed as a pub. Supposedly the highest distillery in the uk now, doesn't really count though as it's gin not whisky, that honour goes to Dalwhinnie in Scotland.
