|
| |
I've been absent from the NG for rather a long time, but I'm still going (if not 'strong'). Just thought I'd mention that Shropshire CC have now released their ROWs map as 'open data' and I've compiled a version for Garmin GPSs, which you can get at via:

Location of this photo?

Anyone able to identify the location of this photo please? It's one of
