Needle in a haystack!

I thought JC might have posted this up but I'll do it. A female cyclist in the US posted (in a Facebook group) a picture of her late mum bike touring 'somewhere' in Scotland from 1938. We had 2 images to go off... the map of the route, remember this is 1938 https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/497862...

Re: Video Editing Software

I used to use Windows Movie Maker which is free. Its a good bit of software especially for starting off as its simple to use.
However You can film with just your phone nowadays and edit on yer phone but WMM is a way to go imo

Was out again yesterday evening enjoying the 0.3 metre low tide. The low water level uncovered a neolithic (5000 year old) tree stump preserved in the sand (Googled it) https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49752264888_6997c6cc28_c.jpg 20200408_173803 by Jeff Price , on Flickr https://live.staticflick...

Re: Speaking of old maps...

This woodland is just over a mile from my house. I'm gonna now go in search of 'The Terrace'. Looking at the map its probably only about 50-70 metres away from the footpath in overgrown woodland. It was once probably part of the Bodysgallen Hal but doubt that very much now. I'll report my findings l...
