Is that the bit at Anglesey where you go down the hill on the short straight, get completely distracted by the amazing view, and then st yourself because you'd forgotten about the corner at the end and need to stop very quickly?

Yes i found it the best corner on the track. I'm too st at the fast corners and I found the hairpins a bit boring but that one is very moreish. I found myself trail braking to the apex at times which I never have the balls to do. The elevation change is like Knockhill its just utterly excellent

That photo is well after the right hand hairpin just as you set yourself up for the straight then left

Great photo MTB.

People are funny when on the internet. Have met Scott a couple of times and he is nothing like his internet persona (i.e. he's not at all belligerent and is actually not a massive nob biggrin). You said the same about Loon when you met him and I'm sure it's the case. The tone of each individual's posts can be far too easy to misinterpret unless you've met the poster.

I actually read Scott's post as being about the image, but it sounds like his previous tone has bit him in the arse. I sympathise as I do it inadvertently sometimes too.

That said, with Jade Goody being worm food, I'm still trying to work out who MTB's baseline is if he thinks he's not an ill-educated tt.

I used to take track photos, i owned track-photography.co.uk for a few years. I used to get paid for taking photos of cars. It was about the photo. But DG is a proper nobber in real life.

I don't do it anymore because everyone who has a camera thinks they are a photographer.

One of my fav's.
