I used to ride with a mate around the peak district Derbyshire areas. being in the Merchant navy we used to get long leaves/holidays , 10 weeks on 10 weeks off. My mate is retired so we would never hit the likes of the Cat and Fiddle road heading over to Debry/Peak district/Snake pass etc! on a weekend. Always Monday or Tuesday , mid week anyway as Plod was not about as much and bikers were not as numerous either. We used to have some good fun, Question though are the average speed cameras still turned off on the cat & Fiddle road. I remember reading an article in the MCN a while back that they were OFF as the cost of running and maintaining them was prohibitive and they now rely on them as a deterrent. I do know though that if you see a Helicopter in the area roll the throttle of as they can do you now with there eye in the sky.
