Warwickshire/Gloucestershire  County Boundary The county boundary is where the road changes colour about 50 metres beyond the motor cyclist. The boundary is marked by the Paddle Brook which passes under the Fosse Way at that point.The motorcyclist  was speeding down the hill and braked hard when he saw me. He presumably thought I was law enforcement because of my Hi-Viz jacket. The road is dangerous due to its straightness and the high speeds that can be reached. The red sign in the middle states: HIGH RISK CRASH ROUTE.
