Well it's wet here, so I'll take mostly anything to move on now.

Is a sea loch close enough? I'll admit the bike facing the wrong way to be overlooking it.

The Mall was still very "decorative" yesterday but still closed to traffic & besides I'd let the train take the strain.

I'm back at work today, and yesterday it was raining - I got wet when I took the bike out

Shit, I didn't think I'd win. It's worse than playing I-Spy with my children.

How about near or with a viaduct in view? The material the viaduct is made from isn't specified.

Was out for a couple of hours to play and buggered if i can find anything like that anywhere near me as its bloody flat everywhere ....for anyone near the Yorkshire Dales i did have a pic of my Ducati near one of the best Viaducts in the country at Ribblehead but cant obviously use it for this unless it runs to next week as i am heading north to visit the parents and i hate using motorways :mrgreen:

There's not even a bridge where I am. We did get a zebra crossing this year* complete with Belisha beacons and some double yellow lines.

*The weather's that bad even the horses wear fur coats.

Here's a bit of help in finding a viaduct - viaductsuk.com
This site is intended to list all of the UK's viaducts with locations so that you can go and visit them.
They've even got a handy map -

Their intention does not appear to be fully met, they're missing the Wolverton viaduct here in MK.

Their home page asks that if you know of any not listed then register and add them.

Went and found this one this morning as it's nice and sunny- it's the Twemlow Viaduct in case you want to look it up on Viaductsuk :)

For the next one how's by a canal bridge?

Do navigable rivers with locks count as canals?
