So that's pretty much all the low hanging fruit collected :laugh:

Although I have realised that I don't have to ride 20 miles to Whipsnade Zoo as Woburn Safari Park is only 10 miles from home (thumbs)

There's a Dam fairly close to work at Sywell reservoir but it remains to be seen if I can get the bike close enough for a photo!

The only other one I might be able to get without a major trek is a vintage vehicle, I'm thinking the Shuttleworth Collection is a likely venue. I used to ride past that on my way to work each day but I've changed job and moved house since then :whistle:

So a little jaunt to Portugal at the weekend and I managed to grab a few more....

D - Dam

Barragem de Santa Luzia, near Pampilhosa da Serra, Portugal

I - International Border

The owner of the Husky was from Barcelona and confirmed that's Spain in the distance, the town in sight is Castelo Branco, which is only 18km from the border so I'm inclined to believe him!

For the pedants amongst you, the horizon on flat land is 4.7km away but elevate your position by 30m (100ft) and you can see 19.6km. At the time we were close to 1000m above sea level so could definitely see as far as Spain

Ergo... there must be the international border in the shot somewhere.
