Trip Up North
- Thread starter B4ndit
- Start date
On the routes I took. I didn't see any static speed cameras or mobile speed cameras or cops. Hopefully I am not blind and have a letter winging its way to me with a fine. I did see a lot of speed restriction signs (40 or 50 mph) but no physical backing up of them.
What did kill my progress was all the little towns that I went through. Much like traveling in France in the 80s to avoid Toll roads if you know what I mean.

It's gonna be, it's part of the York to Sheffield stage in next year's tour
Nice one, cheers for posting.I'll be up there in 3 weeks.
Is it true about all the speed cameras and average limits up there?
Yep
Helicopter enforced on Sundays in the Peaks
Speed camera Vans in the Dales on Saturdays
Only if you're unlucky & on popular routes

Every time I go to the Peak District on a weekend there's a camera van camped just over the crest of a long straight on the A57 next to Ladybower reservoir enforcing the ridiculous 50mph limit. There's sometimes a traffic car with it just in case the you decide to stop and hide your number plate/perform a U-turn.
Elsewhere, there's ridiculous speed limits on wide open country road with excellent visibility and the traffics horrendous unless you stick to tiny back roads (which are good, but sometimes it's nice to enjoy a fast, twisty A-road).
My advice - stay north of the M62 or head into Wales

That looks a good bit of kit to the right of your clocks. Is it a mobile cover/charger ?,and could you tell me were you bought it.

Nice if you could connect a charger to it.Looks a very sturdy case though.
Lovely roads and glad you enjoyed the ride, but why go scratchin' with the boxes on? They would not have done your averages any good.
