How I want to put a race on here.
The lovely Shona has just put an idea in my head to hold a race in Austria, it'd be worth it just for the T shirts.
Here's a little about the proposed venue:
The village is especially popular with British tourists; as a local tour guide explained: "The Germans all want to see Mozart's house in Salzburg; the Americans want to see where The Sound of Music was filmed; the Japanese want Hitler's birthplace in Braunau; but for the British, it's all about Fucking."[12] Augustina Lindlbauer, the manager of an area guesthouse, noted that the area had lakes, forests, and vistas worth visiting, but there was an "obsession with Fucking". Lindlbauer recalled how she had to explain to a British female tourist "that there were no Fucking postcards.

There's a village on Orkney Mainland called Twatt, there's only one road sign to it left now!

My wife said I was being immature when I took this picture on the south downs way but I just thought it looked like a nice tap
