To the point of it being pretty dangerous, any one else been up there ?

Yes but not in one of the more popular places the Peak offers.

It was gusty to say the least on Gradbach Ridge

Out on the road bike up to Monyash caff. Bit hard work into the wind at times but not that drastic in the White Peak.

The gap at Winstone Lee Tor was eventful, I was blown up Winn Hill over the other side yet the cafe at Fairholmes was bathed in sunshine and barely a breeze,

Rode up winnats on saturday real tough with the wind but made it, then the ride back to Hope from Edale was ace.
We were motoring but checking Strava once I got home it had failed to record any of that bit. Grrrrr.

I kept looking out of the window thinking I should go out for a ride.

Was on the road bike yesterday going up Holme Moss and was pretty windy.

I actually fell off going *up* Holme Moss as a big gust of wind head on had me at a standstill unexpectedly. Couldn't clip out in time and toppled off to the side ๐Ÿ˜ณ
