I was amused by Thomas' gordinir8 observation yesterday that the UK "is flat". Not where I'm standing it isn't.
I was in the middle of a run of over 200 miles, taking Tom's the hobbler advice with an "Italian tune-up". on the west coast of Scotland where we took on the Bealach na Ba and lots of fairly steep ups and downs. We were reduced to first gear at several points.
The parts of Greece that I have visited: Kerkyra, Kefalonia, Lefkas and other islands are amazing with really twisting and steep roads everywhere; one of my dreams is to drive my car there. It's colder and more open up here, but it definitely isn't flat.
PS. Yes, I have put a stupid strap as a precaution on the bonnet...once flying up was more than enough.
