Do we made a mark?

I doubt this was taken this week so it must have been taken shortly after a previous years rally.

Don't know about 'making a mark' but thanks for the heads up on this service - everybody in the office has now stopped work to look for their houses!

If you drag yourself eastwards to the tip of Kent, look for "Herne Common" & look in the biggest patch of woodland, bordering the A291 to the west, you can clearly see the Saxon site's earthwork, brown against the green.

If you can be bothered to try and locate the Welland steam rally site, you will see the rally actually taking place. The GDSF is another good one to try and find. (ps. sorry I cant send the links, but im not sure how to from this site)

Google earth is much easier to use, but doesnt have as much area covered by images, so large areas are just basically map. Betwen the two though you can usually find what you want.

Hi Bob, Well spotted, the Welland site is at

doesn't seem as big as it was 10 years ago when I used to attend. If you want to post sites to the list go to share then E mail. Copy the address it gives as an address & print this as part of your list post. Don't try to send it directly to the list.

The site at Welland does seem somewhat small, it looks as though the sattelite images were taken the day after the rally, due to the land been very worn, but there not been all that much left.

Ive been the last couple of years and it is much bigger and a couple of other fields are now in use, also the rally field has encroached slightly into the camp site at the back of the site.

Hi... heres an intertesting one , i navigated to where my mate has been living for about 5 years and his house is just being built, so that part of the map is at least that age so maybe the map is actually 4 years old at least

The pictures of my village are also at least 4 years old since they show vehicles in my paddock that are not mine.

I've just done the same thing on Google earth, my drive is clear of vehicles etc and that has not been like that for six years.

This bears out my secondary thoughts too - several views of Bristol are fossils & seem to be about six years old.

Further, now I come to look more closely at the surroundings, our Saxon site I found in Kent is in the wrong place & I now realise it is our neighbour's beaver pond enclosure! Our site is still woodland & this was cleared in March 2001.

So, we ought to assume that the Astle Park image shows the site as it was this time in the year 2000?

Diplomacy done, plates spun, fires fought, maidens eaten - well, three out of four ain't bad

It must have been then, as we were still at Tatton park in 1999.

There is something mysterious about it.

The view doesn't show an extension on my completed in 1977, on my next door neighbour's completed in 1979 but does show the major alterations to another neighbour's house completed in the late 1980 early 1990s.

Also visible (but make undeterminable) is a red car on my drive. I have had only two red cars, 1979 to 1984 and September 1989 to July

2002.

I give up!
