I'd like to do knock hill one day. but i bet it's up north somewhere aint it.
True fact. I've never been more northern than Sheffield or Cadwell Park (which ever is most northern).

If you've never been further than that you've only ever seen the very worst that Britain has to offer.
Where you are up to Sheffield is crap, above and below that is lovely.

haha and the Sheffield thing, I barely saw... that was for the corsa sport north meet a few years back
If petrol wasn't so expensive, I'd drive up to scotland and have a wander around.

Need to get upto Knockhill again at some point now that I no longer have mickey mouse tyres, see if I can spend a bit less time in the gravel
Never been North of Sheffield? You must think England's a right shithole

The UK looks good when you cross the border going North, you should visit some time. You'd like it.

When I was in New Zealand, there was a scottish and a welsh lad that kept saying they had 'this shit' back home (referring to the scenery).
England to me is flat and urban.

Its a bit hillier up here lol. Took this on Friday morning at the top of the cairn mountains. My 18t lorry seriously struggled on the 16% incline. It's a very narrow road from Banchory to Fettercairn (about 13 miles) mainly used by nutter bikers racing to the top at the view point and then dropping down the other side lol.

Paul you are fully missing out, it's a wonderful place full of captivating scenery, history and tradition.
The country isn't bad either.
