Earlier this year had a run over to Scarborough and Whitby about 250 mile round trip not been there for years.
Set off in the rain which is normal here in Manchester M62 over the Pennine's and the sun is out 8) past Leeds and onto the A64.
The A64 is a nice dual carriageway and my speed was creeping up a bit. :o
Cresting the brow of a hill in the outside lane overtaking a car i spotted a mobile speed trap :law with being higher than the car i braked first and kept him between me and the :cop.
We were both going a little too fast. Wot thuh A quick glance down when i saw the trap 85mph. :-(((
Anyway onto Scarborough but didn't stop afraid it is just another tourist dump. :(
The road A171 from Scarborough to Whitby is great just like a roller coaster twisting left and right and up and down. 8)
