Is this this place where you fill up, and have to pay acroos the road? Not to far from Applecross ?
If so, prices have increased by 5p since I was there in 2005.

OMG...

This photo wasn't per chance taken by the sea at a small village called Silecroft about 4 miles from Millom.....?

I used to work in the local pub called "The Minors Arms" in Silecroft for a bit before I joined up.
I'm going to visit my Parents tomorrow, so I'm gonna try and find this sign...

Yep! That was the place where you have to pay across the road, and also not too far from AppleCross - that was the most expensive petrol we managed to find... however, it turned out that there was also another petrol station less than a mile down the road, that was 5p per litre cheaper!!! Ooo... how I was annoyed!

And the sign was in a toilet next to a car-park in Millom itself, thought it was hilarious at the time!

I loved it! Although possibly because it was the only night we stayed in a proper hotel rather than a youth hostel or a pub! (Don't ask...)

Some of the photos around the place (not just the bar, the corridors and rooms too) were amazing!

Brilliant! It's great on Fridays as there's always some old rockers playing. It is a little bit harley-esque though!
Looks like an ace trip

-V-strom was probably a better bike to do it on anyway

Dare I say it... Yep! Felt very odd getting back on the SV and realising quite how much pressure goes on the wrists, oh... and not to mention the back strain! If only the V-Strom looked a bit more sporty
