Hello Ian...
Yes agreed, it was included with the reply, and at the end was
the league equals comment which I replied to. Actually the
League < or whatever the Navigator of the Definace was using >
is approximately 3 miles < on land>.

Yes agreed... I thought the updates would be better, but then
they have been confusing blurrs or uselessness, almost like other
programes I have been forced to update.

OH ... How disappointing. I get their shows on our Education TV
channel. Still like the show, even if they only do the shows
this way. I thought they were invited to do this by the owners
of these lands...etc...oh well...live and learn.

I did that too ...a trip to the old homestead<s> in England and
Scotland, and well the only thing I need now, is a trip home to
just touch base, and leave again...never to return.
I still like your place Ian ... so quaint... :)

PS: I also liked the pictures I got of Caer Cadoc, and yeah
saw that cave, and no ...I would have to practice to get up
that hill....but it is impressive.
