Google Earth (TM) and other things


The above screenshot is from Google Earth, I realise I 've been banging on about it but people who don't have it won't know what I'm on about. Google Earth (TM) is a library of satellite images that you can easily display on your computer if you're connected to the Internet. Some of them, particularly over well populated places, are very detailed - as you can see above. It's Teddington Lock and the Angler's Inn pub.

The GPS I have (now faulty but I've ordered its replacement!) can upload tracks to Google Earth and overlay them on the images (the red line), well I'm impressed by it all! The following link takes you off to a couple of images and includes some commentary about why we we hid under the foot bridge.....
