They'll never kill our pint.
But on the original thread (I think this should be put forward for a wander award),As an outsider, not used to this route. I went this way to the meet and got there safely and on wednesday actually taking note of the route. I came of the motorway from blackburn, turned right around the roundabout in a 30 zone, entered the dual carraigeway , which is national speed limit, which in my van on a dual carriageway is 70, it's a nice clear dal carriageway, I moved out and accelerated past the cars on the inside lane up to 70. As I approcahed the top of the hill, traffic light signs are clearly vissable causing me to slow down, expecting to stop, I go over the brow, and slow to a stop at the the lights. Ahead is a 30 zone. The end. On the way back I accelarate from the lights out of the 30 zone on to the dual carriage way, and slow at the roundabout which is signed and give way, before entering the 30 zone on the island. I accelarate on the slip to join the motorway, again no problem. It's strange for a 70 to be sandwiched between two 30 zones but its perfectly safe because you've got signed lights at one end and a roundabout at the other.
