Unusual one this; a disappeared gas station that never really was.  At Badcaul on Little Loch Broom they built a fake gas station for a film called Shell (as in Michelle, not Royal Dutch)  Note distinctive mountain in the background.

Can see the reminents of a pump base just beyond Reg,s bike 

Greenies would of pushed to get that station removed... to close to the water.
Would of made the clean up after tank removal a doozie

Indeed, once the film was finished they dismantled it.  The film was made in 2012, but maybe out of the riding season as I don't recall seeing the set there.

So for this challenge you have to carry a big green bag and cover up a fuel bowser with it to be awarded a "bagging"? Very strange.

The big trend in the bush are one tiny demountable building without a toilet and a bunch of bousers. Not even on the main drag but tucked away on a back street.I miss the traditional trucky stop.

Hi all, I have discovered an architectural gem today:
A gas station built of wood, but a long time out of service. Its about 100km from Vienna, near the border to Czech Republic.
