Don't use a wallpaper on my computer, just a neutral grey background, as it's a Mac Mini plugged into my telly, so I don't want a confusing background. If I can find something I might change it.
I do have this as my 'desktop' on the iPad;
[IMG] [/IMG]

Taken near Avebury, it works in landscape and portrait, and isn't too obtrusive. Actually, I might use it on the Mac as well, should look rather nice 40" across... 😀

CountZero, I used to use a very similar one, taken up by the Ridgeway a little way from Marlborough. Love that texture and flow of the landscape!

Jamie, what/where is that? Looks a lot like a treehouse escape pod, which is an awesome idea!

Me blazing my way to a spectacular 14th place in Weekend Warriors at Lee Quarry earlier this month, taken by [url= http://singletrackworld.com/members/marsdenman/ ]marsdenman[/url]. Yes I'm carrying my bike downhill, **** off, I was not having a particularly good race. I rode this bit without falling off on the next lap, honest. 😉

This is where I get off on a corner I've never got up in about 10 rides - tightish steep switchback about 3 miles into a long climb and normally about 90 degrees heat
Haven't had the energy to even consider "sessioning" it (dood)

Is great going back down again though
