Default S8 Admiring the View, but Where?
Had to clear my head yesterday, so went for a drive in the S8. Points to anyone who can guess its location. Those who did the WAW in 2016 aren't eligible to guess, you should know!



...and yes, I know it's dirty!

Yeah, OK! That might be worth a mini Easter egg.

Hope you had a good time. The weather there yesterday was lovely, but rather nippy. Had sleet and hail on the way there.

I reckon I may have found it ...






Looks stunning Sean



(Scenery isn't bad either)




So what's the little tower on the top of the cliff .... or is that your house?

EDIT: Ignore that question ... I've just seen the post you made in the other thread!

Yeah, wouldn't that be a nice view. Just so long as you don't sleepwalk.

Given half a chance, I'd be out in it every day, but in reality, I think I've been out roughly once a fortnight. Only used on long runs, and when I'm in the mood.
