Man your pictures do make the Peak district look like an awesome place to go ride your bike but whenever I go there I have a torrid time due to the ridiculous speed limits and the lack of national speed limits.

To be fair I have totally the wrong bike for the peaks, a nice upright easy going naked would be ideal I think.

50's are as good as NSL there anyway IMO. They all used to be NSL there anyway and are just uber nazi's.

50's are NSL in my eyes and therefore fair game but its the endless 30 in a village then 40 cos the next village isn't that fair away then down to 30 then repeat the process 20 times until you finally get to a nice bit of road which is full of cars with limited opportunities to pass due the white lines.

I did a couple of runs over there this evening, very enjoyable & very picturesque.

you need to move away from the main areas and try some of the roads off the beaten track, there is some brilliant roads with very little traffic on and all NSL ones, you just need to know where they are thats all.
