Good Morning Campers

We plan to travel along this route from Grin low to the Malverns in the year and, looking at the map, there appears to be a 1 in 5, maybe 1 in 7 hill over the Roaches. Anyone out there travelled this road southwards with a Van at MTPLM 1570? Any problems?

Thanks for your replies folks

"The biggest risks on that road are probably the fog and the cross-winds, which can both take you by surprise."

Thanks for that but the sun always shines on holiday  (where's the smilie for fingers crossed?)

Being as you're travelling from Grinlow to Leek you should be fine. The steepest hill would be going up from Blackshaw Moor towards Buxton, but as you will be coming down that one, no problems, just take care.
