    That's not such a pretty picture, but that's my fault, it's a stunning view. South of Bonar Bridge. I don't know the north east coast at all well, but that must be the Dornoch Firth.
    (That's not me BTW).



    OK there's no AT in it but the hills are pretty! Fisherfield Forest. The ride up the nearby track to Loch na Sealga would be nice, shame it's private.
    flat out on utterly inappropriate tackle

    Markh,
    That doesn't look like Bedfordshire to me, which hills are they?

    (Hijack
    Maverick, where did you go to get your bike so muddy, as seen on AdvRider? Hijack off)

    Cheers

    Indeed. That's taken on Birker Fell, between Eskdale and Coniston.

    Mark, that pic is bloody awesome.

    How did you take that? Special kit or did you stitch the pics together?
    Forum help and advice needed?

    Thanks! It was stitched together in Photoshop from four exposures.

    I grew up in these parts and I must say it looks like they've resurfaced the road since I was last up there! Looks like just before or past the Devoke Water track.

    Great picture Mark. The Lake District can be very photogenic, particularly at this time of year (AT's are photogenic any time of year!) and you've done a great job. I can just imagine tramping over the fells in the background (Scafell just to the right of your screen, Hmmmn!)
    - good hiking weather by the looks of it.

    ...oh, don't blame yourself Ice, but yes the BMW ruins the shot doesn't it . Do you know the fellow or did he just park up and stand there? Some people will do anything for attention
