mickmck 716 Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 ive been going up once or twice a week for the past year and i smile when we come over the boarder , there is common buzzards everywhere and i allways see deer , Saw loads of Hares pairing up in Northumberland and on the Borders. about 8 weeks ago i went up nr Cedar cafe to pick up some beef for the Greys and saw a Roe Roadkill right nr the Eymouth turnoff on the side of the road on the southbound, stopped and put that in also. When we got home and opened the van door up my sisters 3 yr old said whats happened to Rudolf lol. i passed dead roe this morning but couldnt stop for it i was gutted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 31,187 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 The one looking over a cliff to a Green plato below which then falls off over Cliffs into the North Sea ? Or is it actually the layby that the Cedar Cafe sits in ? Think its prob my first guess. Theres no cafe it sounds more like the first one.....ive got pictures of it if i had half an idea how to post them i would !.....im just looking now,.....it looks like a big cornfield or something with a plot say 100 metres square with a house and a few barns,some beaten up old motors......im pretty sure the train line runs between the cliff and the house as you look down......its a pretty desperate looking gaff to be honest but everytime i pass it i have visions of what id do with it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
