Throw in all the spoilers you want if your going to get them that wrong , not even close (or close to any of the pics). I'm dissapointed in you with your great knowledge of the highways and byways of Fingal County.

I've been on a many a NCD cycle (on my own) and have mostly seen hedges, albeit very nice hedges. I would definitely be up for seeing some proper sights.

Probably because 4 of those pictures were taken within 5km or so of Beasty's Lair (and the other 2 are on local race circuits)...
