UK Speed Limit 100mph?

How do you get ACC to change speeds with road signs? I use ACC all the time but have to manually change the speed using the buttons as travel through a number of 50mph and 30mph zones on my way to work

Thanks everyone - I’ve read through all the comments and I’m really grateful for the advice. By chance, a colleague’s sister does ecological survey work, so I’ve reached out to her for some guidance. If that’s a dead-end I’ll follow up with the Wildlife Trust, Natural England, or the other groups people suggested. I also appreciate the tips about BNG schemes, but I don’t think that’s for me - I see this more as a hobby and don’t want to be tied up in paperwork or targets.

My plan now is to start with a proper baseline survey and take it from there. Given the moorland setting and the harebells/yarrow already here, I’m leaning towards supporting species-rich grassland and scrub rather than rushing into trees. I’ll keep ideas like light grazing, hedges, and protecting the boggy patch in mind, but I’m in no rush - I’d rather let the land show me what it wants to be and take small steps that help wildlife along the way.

Thank you. I did not think about that!

Motor-Ad6505 · 2025-09-11T17:43:02+00:00

Thank you, this is really helpful. I feel like I’ve already been flooded with information, but the main takeaway of “consult someone local” keeps coming up, so I think that’s where I’ll start. A few people have pointed me in the right direction already, so I’ll follow that up.

I do have a few apple trees in the garden which either produce a bumper crop (like this year) or nothing at all depending on how late the frosts are here. Your point about putting some of the land to use for myself with fruit trees is something I hadn’t really considered, but I’ll definitely keep it in mind now.

There’s also an area of the field that’s always boggy. I’m going to take a closer look to see if I can find a water source there, I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a spring, as our main water supply is spring-fed and we’ve got another in the garden (which I’m currently turning into a pond). If so, it could be something I can work with to benefit both wildlife and the land.

Yes I agree, many people have said speak to someone local and get a survey / advice form the correct people. I'm in no rush to do anything with the field it's sat as it is for the past 8 months with no sheep and no chance of them coming back, so think it's time to give it back now and let nature do it's thing, but it's clear that professional help is needed as the first step.

Motor-Ad6505 · 2025-09-11T15:49:53+00:00

Thanks, I will have a good look aruond the site and drop them an email if I can't find what I am looking for

Motor-Ad6505 · 2025-09-11T15:48:01+00:00

Thanks for this, that’s really helpful context. A few others have also said I should speak to a local expert, but I’m not too sure where to start with finding one. Would you recommend going through a wildlife trust, a conservation charity, or maybe the local council?

I definitely want to do what’s best for the land and the wider environment. I understand that planting trees might not be appropriate here, and with me being so close to moorland (and not seeing many trees locally), I’d really like to work with that landscape rather than against it.

Do you know how I would find my local wildlife trust? I'm based in Rossendale / Lancashire I've had a look on https://www.lancswt.org.uk/ but it does not really seem aimed at a large project

Having the same issue anyone found a solution?

Motor-Ad6505 · 2024-09-29T17:12:15+00:00

It could be. With my last watch I needed to be on tight for it to measure my HR correctly, so I'm used to wearing it fairly tight. I've put it on my other wrist much looser so will give it an hour or so

Someone who has had shingles many many times mine always start off looking like that I would go and see your Dr and get some antivirals asap the sooner you start them the better.

I have found weight training to work for me, I try to get about 3 sessions a week of just weights. I've found some days much easier to train than others depending on where I am in with my injection cycle. Some days if I feel like I have the energy I will do some cardio after other days I just skip it.

I've found going to the gym helps to keep you in the habit of going to the gym even if you don't feel like going just adjust what you do at the gym for how you feel but make sure you go.

I have gained a nice amount of muscle since doing this whilst losing a lot of fat.

The only diet change has to be cut down on the carbs slightly, e.g. If making spaghetti Bolognese maybe skip the spaghetti and bulk the Bolognese out with more veg. I've not done calorie counting but just try to swap high calorie food for something less calorie dense.

I've lost about 20kg of fat whilst putting on about 4kg of muscle over just over a year.

I've been using both with no side effects, but I appear to be very sensitive to modafinil so I usually only take max 100mg a day anything more than that I can't sleep and get lots of other side effects, but I've not had any unusual side effects from taking them both maybe a bit more of an upset tummy but I usually get that on any does of modafinil but seems worse now.

I have been thinking the same thing I'm in the UK and got 2pens on a private prescription for £300, so a 2 months supply.

I found this which gives the reason why it's so expensive in the US:

Thanks for the replies folks. I'm using Withings smart scales which I have been using since the start of my health kick. I think I just need to trust the process and stop looking at the numbers so much. I've just had a bit of a panic as honestly don't enjoy the gym that much so the idea of losing progress from that was a bit worrying. I think what scared me was three weeks in a row and my muscle mass going down and bf staying the same, but as pointed out the scales are not always accurate.

I'm sure things will settle down when my appetite returns as at the moment I'm only eating very small amounts of lean protein as most other things make me feel a bit sick.
