In that case, I think it is the Annual Blessing of the Plough Service . :)

John Walker has already fixed it at Rochester Cathedral, I suspect from the tiles.  Keep thinking about the plough and forget Wouldham.

Yes it's Rochester John, but what is happening?


I've got it (I think) - will hold back for now.

Those tiles look familiar.

Try this one then.  What is happening and, of course, where?

Well done MartinR.  It is indeed the Memorial Park Boating Lake in Herne Bay.  Many years ago it had rowing boats and canoes now it's just model boat at the weekends.  The large island used to have an ornate bridge.


Over to you ...

No, your directions weren't wrong, I'd vectored ENE as NNE :-[ and got a cross from the Barton's Point ESE vector at around Shellness.  Once I "got my bearings" right, I chased along the North Kent shore until I came to Herne Bay Memorial Park, which indeed does have bowls, tennis and a memorial nearby.  I suspect that the outer Thames Estuary/North Sea is a "much larger volume of water"!  GSV even has someone preparing a model boat on the lake.  Camera was at:
  • Nat Grid:                  TR1765167759
  • Nearest Post Code: CT6 5RD
  • Co-ords (WGS84):   51°22'02"N,001°07'31"E or 51.367167,1.125380
which is on the footpath around the lake on the eastern side looking north-west.

Are we still on the Island then?  Somewhere near the Isle of Harty?


Not on the island.  Unless I've got my directions wrong, you need to head ENE from your Faversham Lakes guess for a few miles.
