Snake Pass/Woodhead closures

Recommended Posts

Just to confirm Snake is still closed this evening.

Article below from Derbyshire Times

 

"Snake Pass – which was opened during the day – has tonight been closed again by police.

 

Officers have decided to shut the road because of obstacles caused by cars left abandoned on Saturday night during heavy snowfall. Drivers should not attempt to driver over the route"

The A6 to Manchester via Castleton is a winner when there is snow forecast. The farms at the top of Wynatts Pass tend to grit the pass and keep it open.

Petty sure that's not Winnats pass. I drove it yesterday about 5 and it was totally clear of snow.

No roads closed at the moment. Derbyshire CC reported reopening snake and holme moss this afternoon on twitter.

Rowter Farm is by the top of Winnats.

 

Yes but that photo isn't of the pass, it's of the very minor road heading to the farm, which is off the road to Sparrowpit, that road is also currently closed due to the road collapsing so won't be gritted.
