I am off to meet a mate in Kings Lynn early Saturday morning (travelling up from Stevenage), and then off for a run round the coast towards Hunstanton, any areas that I should be careful in or avoid at all costs? (with regards to scamera vans etc....)

Your advice would be appreciated.

East of Thorney on the A47 is a prime spot for scammers. Don't worry, they only hang around on the nice safe straights. If the road feels dangerous, then no scammers.

Overtake on blind bends and you'll be quite safe

The village of thorney has four fixed Scams, two pointing each way. The ones in the middle of the village are mostly black and a little tricky to spot.

Once past Wisbech, the dual carriageway attracts attention from the bridges and occasionally the hun sits on sliproads out of sight and shoots you from behind. Mirror checks necessary.

Over to anyone else past Kings Lynn. Never take the car past that point, bike only!

Very little to worry about in these parts, A47 as you come from Wisbech towards Kings Lynn occasionally has camera vans parked on overhead bridges.....but that's about it.

As far as coast roads and just inland, no real problem at all - just keep your eyes peeled as normal!
