You have 28 days to consider all your options.

Shouldn't my NIP state the offence as an average then?
If captured by average speed cameras (SPECs), then the speed given should be an average.
Of course, you could have instead been pinged by a mobile camera within an inactive SPECs zone.

I ask this because to do 71mph i would have to be above 71 at some stage of the distance between the 2 cameras
Not necessarily - you could have been doing 71 all the way though
But yes, you would have had to achieve
at least 71 mph for your average to be determined as 71 - if caught by an average camera setup.
If caught by a mobile, then your speed will only need to be 71 for a short moment.

Why are you so sure?
What are the uncertainties of your knowledge?
Are you sure your speedo wasn't under-reading at the time?

If i contest the offence do they legally have to supply me with the evidence prior to appearing in magistrates court?
AIUI: assuming it is requested, evidence that is not copied to you at least 7 days before the trial is not admissible in the trial.

If yes then this is what i will do.
Only do this if you are sure. The odds will be stacked against you, even if you were within the limit.
