Two monitors == pain. At several points during the last week I would have happily given the second monitor to any of the people who went "oooh, two monitors", in return for a working x config. It's more or less working now, but still stops talking to the monitor if I hibernate/suspend. Bah.

As for Boar's Hill... there's a viewing platform at the top, and on the platform there's a stone thing with a flat circular map on top. It was surprisingly hard to find (you'd think the top of a hill would be pretty easy) once we'd got nearly to the top. That's how we found the bus shelter in the wood (see the rest of the photos on flickr).

You have definitely been in London too long. Visit Oxford. :-)
