Be careful in the peaks!

Saw 2 Derbyshire talivans yesterday - one on a straight bit of the A515 a mile or so west of Newhaven, another one at the beginning of a straight bit of the A5012 (Newhaven-Cromford). Both on bits where the road suddenly goes straight and people who wish to travel at the national speed limit may wish to overtake all the Sunday drivers doing 40 or 50, (and maybe briefly exceed the NSL whilst doing this).

Fortunately quite visible, but keep them eyes peeled, peops, and watch for vehicles coming the other way if you wish to overtake!

Had spent weekend in Scarborough as well (met up with folks for meal on way near Macc on way back).

No speed cameras at all (I like N.Yorks!) - the only time I saw any camera signs was in a little sleepy hollow type village which had a justified 30 limit.

Also noticed all the chavved up 'boy racer' cars in Scarboro' had drum and bass pumping and very polite drivers who stopped to let the little old ladies cross across the prom!
