Newlands Corner, the infamous Dogging location. Look, a car has already given you the sign 
I assume you just went for the roads, the views etc (nice photo btw).
It's a nice place and I do enjoy nibbling on sausage when up there too. 
EDIT:
Took my striple out down to Fontwell today, went over Berry Hill and rejoiced in the bikes wonderful handling. It does run out of puff on the straights, but she does do bends VERY well 
Came back via A285 to Petworth and A272 to Loxwood.
90 miles and half of that in lovely blue sky and sunshine |

No. Just, no. I don't want to see it anymore. You know what I'm talking about. Yeah, I know, my can. But that....how could you?  Do you live in that thing? You went for a ride to Loomies fer chrissakes, it ain't no continental tour!

Considering I've only ridden a bike about 4 times this winter, I think I can safely say that lack of winter riding has zero effect on my confidence, as long as conditions are halfway reasonable, as they were (for the most part) today 
Did my favourite Lake District route, about 140 miles, and found myself clicking with the Striple more than ever before, keeping that little hussy on the boil around 8 grand and above for most of that mileage, and screaming it to the limiter in every gear at every opportunity  So come summer, my license is most probably going to get shredded. Just goes to show, it isn't necessarily bigger bikes that threaten this fate. And I could probably do with buying shares in a petroleum company. Best part of two tankfuls in 140 miles - that's not very good, is it? |
Rinse and repeat.
Except today I did stop for a couple of photos.

Put the freshly charged battery back on the Fazer and popped into town to get some WD40, cleaner spray and chain lube. Didn't bother with thermals or owt like that, it was so nice in the sunshine. But then, decided to take it out for a good run and went up to the Hartside cafe.
One lonely bike in a freezing cold, wind-swept car park at the (closed  ) cafe:
https://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b550/nicknicklxs/DSCN8240_zpss4wafkpw.jpg
Bloody hell, I was shivering! Roads were good though, and completely empty. Since the cafe was closed, popped back down to the garage in Alston for a refuel and a coffee, then back home.
I think it every year, but it's great to be back on the Fazer. Being hurled at the horizon like that is just such a hoot after months on something with less power I always have to remind myself to take it a bit easy to start with - very easy to get yourself into trouble on those twisty hill roads, and more weight to haul up than the diminutive little Striple. A much more serious proposition with 140rwhp on tap, but by God, it's so much more engaging! Suspension is so much kinder over the bumps too.

In Macclesfield, it was overcast, but dry enough for a bit of a fruity ride.
4 miles out of Macclesfield into the Peak District I was greeted with conditions fit for a scene in a new installment in the Lord of the Rings.
Either way, much fun was had thanks to the thundering V-Twin goodness.
