Now I did these very roads this summer - I remember these very views, and they are beautiful..... but I always forget to stop and take a picture - somehow I take in the view at what ever mph.... think "that's nice" see a nice bend... or think "I wonder what it is like further on" ..... and end up never stopping.

I tend to rely on memory but should buy a camera sometime.

In the past I had a Fuji S series large zoom camera which was too big to go anywhere other than in one of the luggage boxes. I lost this camera at the Stafford show last year and replaced it with a Lumix FT1 which is a small compact camera, both waterproof and shockproof. It lives in my jacket pocket so I can stop and quickly take a photo, helmet on and engine running if necessary and so I have more readily available photo opportunities. The Fuji was a pain in this respect as it had to live in the top box and was not waterproof.
The Lumix is never going to compete with the quality of say, a DLSR, but for most situations, its reasonable enough.

Ian,
I can understand your GPS reluctance but you have to get a camera. I do so many trips in the year that they would all blend into one if I didn`t take photos. My memory is perfect but we tend to go to lots of places and they all seem to run into the same trip in my head after 6 months.
We go one further now. Once the winter nights start setting in we sit down and make books of our holidays. We use all our own photos and text and make them just for our own enjoyment. We use Bookksmart.com and we make excellent reminders of our trips.

Nice pics.
To take the GPS/camera one step further, my camera has GPS built in. I spent ten days in Iceland, and once back there were a few spots we couldn't place. By comparing the recorded co-ordinates, I could find out which end of the lay-by we were in when I took the pic!
Oh, the camera is a Lumix TZ10, and as others have said above, so convenient for snaps, but quite flexible if you want to get creative.
