New Views over Megalithia

[hvered]

A guided walk with Cheryl Straffon & Lana Jarvis following part of a long-distance trading route from Sancreed Beacon to Caer Bran and Chapel Euny wells.

Along the A30? The most (only) direct route.

[Boreades]

Well, the A30 is the long way round, but you can go that way if you want to.

Personally, I'd use the TME Executive Cyclocopter to buzz down to Land's End Airport, then the first stop on our version of the trail is at Chapel Carn Brea, a stone's throw to the south east.

See the dotted footpath and trails, well north of the A30

I don't know if anyone else is having the same problem but I cannot go to Borry's maps (or much else) by clicking on the URL. Only by using my vast powers to go into his post and accessing the URL from the edit can I do so. Also, Borry, did it not occur to you that possibly putting both on one map might be rather more user-friendly?

In your haste you probably posted before I had added the Google Earth image. You are forgiven.

[Mick Harper]

The flags have now disappeared just when we had everything on one map.

[Mick Harper]

I don't make these points lightly. As much time should be spent on image as on substance. This map is meaningless, Borry.

[Boreades]

I think you are not seeing things.

[Mick Harper]

I certainly can't. And seeing as how I am the world's greatest enquirer into these matters, if I can't see it, you're in real trouble. Might I suggest you put roads on the map rather than a meaningless patchwork of fields. There is something called Cornish AONB that looks distinctly Megalithic.

[Boreades]

This one might require Tisi's attention, as it's Well Oop North, in ancestral home territory.

Lews Castle (Scottish Gaelic: Caisteal Leòdhais), Stornoway, Isle of Lewis.

As we've discussed earlier, all lighthouses on the west coast of Britain are TME-significant, for the ancient trade routes by sea.

It's looking like the TME Executive Cyclocopter might be busy this year. It's a good thing M'Lady Boreades has been busy syphoning the old chip fat oil, to use as fuel. It smells nicer than road diesel as well.

Out of Norfolk

Or, I am H A P P I

The oldest human footprints found outside Africa, dated at between 850,000 and 950,000 years old, have been discovered on the storm-lashed beach at Happisburgh in Norfolk, one of the fastest-eroding stretches of the British coast. Within a fortnight, the sea tides that had exposed the prints last May destroyed them, leaving only casts and 3D images made through photogrammetry (stitching together hundreds of photographs) as evidence that a little group from a long-extinct early human species had passed that way.

No, it's not on the Michael Line.

I certainly can't. And seeing as how I am the world's greatest enquirer into these matters, if I can't see it, you're in real trouble. Might I suggest you put roads on the map rather than a meaningless patchwork of fields. There is something called Cornish AONB that looks distinctly Megalithic.

Your complaint is valid, but misdirected. I suggest you get Mr Google's phone number, and phone him to complain.
