Very nice.

Weather not bad today; sunny, but with just enough wind-chill
thrown
in to keep the madding crowds at home. :-)

Not to change the topic, but I went to MultiMap to get a look at
where
this is. Once I figured out that it's KyleS and not Kyle, it came
up OK.
But I clicked on the little 'camera' icon to get the aerial photo.
It
seems that the only places MM has aerial photos of are south of
Hadrian's
Wall! (Well, and maybe Glesga...)

Go here, then press the "Get-a-map" button -

Enter grid reference NS000775 and press the Go button.

The viewpoint symbol is where that pic was taken from.

Good resolution on the OS maps; handy when looking for odd things. :-)
