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

I've worked along the route to Conyer without luck so far. Usually, signs that say Town Centre are closer in so it threw me. Do I continue beyond Conyer?
(I reckon I could ride that route without a map now 😁)
