Uffculme,Devon

Опубликован wilpin 8 октября 2009 на языке English.

Manage to do a lot of mapping of Uffculme and surrounding area before the rain. Coldharbour Mill is definitely worth visiting.

Some years ago its Fireworks factory went up in smoke - I remember this quite well ; does any oney know where it was located?

Место: Uffculme, Mid Devon, Devon, Devon and Torbay, England, United Kingdom

walking on water without getting wet

Опубликован wilpin 26 сентября 2009 на языке English.

Having mapped many of the streets of Teignmouth today I hadn't realised I'd performed a miracle - see map.

There are possibly three explanations:

1) my gps was giving me false readings

I checked it against Garmins GB map and the track more or less was spot on.

2) the tide was out

Could be, but it has been out ever since I moved to Devon (35 yrs)

3) the osm coastal data is not 100% accurate or up to date.

I wonder...

Ottery St Mary, emergency landing of viscount

Опубликован wilpin 18 сентября 2009 на языке English.

Plotted several footpaths along the Otter, south of Ottery St Mary trying to establish where a Viscount G-ARBY crash landed after running out of fuel in July 1980. I've only got one old BW photograph to help me narrow down the location but of course it happened over 20 yrs ago... - does any body know?

Bishopsteignton, Devon

Опубликован wilpin 12 сентября 2009 на языке English.

Brilliant sunshine and glorious views of the Teign helped me map a bit more of Bishopsteignton. I've never seen a place where as you walk up - and I mean Up - a street unexpectedly changes its name.

Previously, Bishopsteignton has been labelled as a village, but it felt more like a town - admittedly there are appear to be only 2 shops. I wonder what the locals will call it.
