Is it Harty Ferry on the Isle of Sheppey?

As a saddle sore JW recovers from his chase up and down Cycle Route 1, the rest of you may fancy a clue or two...


Obviously on the northern bank of a tidal water. The brickfields are long gone, but the area and it’s link to the water continues.

Just a word of caution when telling people how to do things on the computer.  Whilst I accept that most people are helping keep poor Bill Gates from penuary, some of us don't use Windows at all unless we can help it!  Some people prefer to assist Jobs and Wozniak.  Personally (as a self-confessed Yorkshireman) prefer to keep my money where it belongs, in my pocket. :P   More seriously, I far prefer Linux to Windows and macOS.  Anyhow, this is getting well off GTP so I'll just sign off with best wishes to you all for the New Year.

JohnFilmer - I enjoy your map GTP's.  I've found this one in record time (for me).
I'll hold fire to give someone else a chance.   :)

John all I do is press Print screen. Then open windows paint and Paste in by Ctl - V. If I want to edit I save to Desktop then open in Photos By Right click Open With.

Lutonman - all that did was generate a menu, nothing to do with screenshots at all. Most strange if that works for you.

John Filmer have you tried taking screen shots by "Windows key + shift + S" ?

A bit shy on photos, and still not got to the bottom of my inability to take GSV screenshots.
So... here we have another map clue. 1909 OS 25inch.
A brickworks, lots of clues - well I think so, but then I know where it is ;)

I've cycled past that when I lived in Milton Regis!  Never paid much attention to National Cycle routes though, I just used to cycle to get from A to B.

Thank goodness that stinker has been solved.  :) :) :)
It did seem odd that we were being directed further from Faversham Town Centre.  Signs marking Town Centre don't usually appear until the outskirts of a town.
Happy New Year everyone.

Well done John Filmer. Bit of a Joke as they amalgamated the Cycle route to Faversham and the Town centre on the same sign .which makes it look like the way to Faversham Town Centre. Caused a few laughs over the years. :)
Over to You for the next one.


     "Happy New Year"
 
                                to you all. Glad to see the back of 2021.

Absolutely cracking Grandarog, found it eventually  ::)


Beside the Crown Quay Lane, Eurolink Way roundabout.


How many hundreds of times have I driven past that!

That would take us into Murston, Sittingbourne or Milton Regis

You need to ride about another few kilometers at least further than Conyer,  I think.The sign is a bit of a joke
