Even us soft suvverners escape, we followed the chuck wagons at side of road to a little hilly place called Ullswater in Cumbria land its further than Brimingham.

Good pic, could only be improved by one of them flickering light effects you get behind pics on the wall of the Chinese....
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Nice bit of road that the A 592 me and a mate were down the lakes 3 years back and took a scoot along it, but you don't want to get stuck behind more than a 2 car convoy as we did along a stretch by Ullswater, there were just enough cars coming the other way to make overtaking damn near impossible.

Are they piccies taken by you? They are superb, you must have some serious kit to take those.

nikon d40, sigma zoom and a little time in photoshop. Around Ullswater was really the only place where you could pull over safely to take a few photos. :biggrin
