Tell you where there is a 20mph zone now though that used to be a GLF.
Go out of Keswick on the lakeside road towards Borrowdale and out to Honister Pass. From just out of town (30mph!!!)to the end of Borrowdale is now 20mph because of the 'ramblers'.
It is even more dangerous now than it was when the national limit was in force. Reason, the stupid idiots think they are quiet safe walking down the middle of the country lane instead of in the verge where they were before. You go round a blind bend to be met by Dennis and Ethel Trampalong and 30 of their brethern blithly and blindly walking up the middle of the lane.
Bl00dy bananas man!
