    Quick heads up for the guys and gals leaving Oulton Park tomorrow and Sunday. Saw a mobile speed camera parked in a layby on the A556 heading East towards Manchester in between Cuddington and Hartford. Easy to be caught out because it's positioned just on the other side of the climb after leaving the 40 mph zone in Cuddington so you'll just be opening her up after crawling through the village. Enjoy the meeting and be safe (and ticket free)

    Crikey! And another one on the same road West bound towards Chester at the bottom of Kelsall hill. That hill is so steep you could probably break the national speed limit on a push bike - free wheeling!!!

    Keep on the back lanes through Eaton and Little Budworth and you'll be fine!


    Or U could just obey the speed limit............................................

    Sorry Bryan01 but I cant say for sure but I would guess it must have. Doesn't the rear facing camera pick up the speed and photograph the oncoming bike and then the front facing camera records the rear plate as it passes?

    Possibly ! I sat behind a car as I came over the top and he was braking. Pretty sure I was in the low 70's ?

    When it comes to photography I'm no Barney or Si but here's a few snaps I took at Oulton Park today. Not perfect but quite pleased with them bearing in mind the limitations of my camera.
