As we have been asking every day this week, please update the blog on the road conditions. Although it appears that the thaw is maybe starting, there are warnings of icy roads again. The information that you send in is extremely helpful to other drivers. Thank you.
11am – Roads are generally OK but slushy, spray from lorries can temporarily reduce your visibility – drive with care & your lights on.
5.45pm – The A515 is like a pea soup, visibility down to about 50 metres.
Also from the Church up Creamery Lane is slippery in parts (certainly in a car).


Bradbourne/Brackendale/Kniveton road all ok – just very foggy.
I’ve driven to Sheffield through Monyash (2nd turn off A515) and Bakewell. Roads were fine, like Cheryl I’d say the worst thing was the fog. Just took it steady.
At 8.30 Bradbourne was very slippery (even in a 4WD) because of the sudden snowfall.
Just got back from Thorpe at 11am. The roads are OK but very slushy. Difficult with the spray thrown up by the lorries and the mist.
WIRKSWORTH & return – via Longcliffe, Hopton Moor & Middleton some slush, rivulets, and standing water in places. Visibility 100 to 150 yds. Road narrow in places due to ploughed snow. No major problems.
