This is a picture of the lat/long co-ordinates for Glenfinnan Railway Development Museum from Google earth- it looks like a private house. Is this the picture you want or do you mean the nearby Glenfinnan Railway Museum at the railway station? The museum is at the railway station. Have a look at the roads on google maps. There is a sign to the museum on the A830 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But from Google Maps using the lat/long co-ordinated Google maps shows the Glenfinnan Railway Museum Development Project to be in a private house in a side road off the A830. I will take photos of both of them to be on the safe side but it would be nice to now which is the actual landmark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual landmark is the building that says "Glenfinnan Railway Museum" somewhere on it. But if you get a picture of the owners of the house in their driveway I'll give you 10 bonus points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoggs Posted July 5, 2021 Author Share Posted July 5, 2021 In other news I did finally get round to updating an altenative tag for the Prospect Tea rooms (North wales) which Mike informed me had closed, so there now is the Sun Trevor pub just down the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickly Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) @Hoggs It appears that “Fancy tea @ Spitfire cafe” Swindon has permanently closed and is now ‘TJ’s Cafe’ Apologies if someone else has already spotted this & I’ve missed the post.

Awesome thanks @Mickly sadly I'm a bit limited by the internet on the validity of the tags! obviously this totally counts and I'll get the map updated over the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike_smith Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Off to Scotland tomorrow. All hotels booked New front tyre fitted will probably need a new back tyre when I get back. Fresh oil & filter in. Alarm set for 3am on the road by 4am weather looks ok will do circa 2000 miles over a week "You dont need an adventure bike to have an adventure" 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rennie Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I finally found boreatton park! It's about 3 miles further down the lane/track than my phone twatnav said it was! They've put some new signs up now so it's easier Tips! The entrance to British Ironworks is all coned off at the moment but it is still open! The entrance/car park to The Sun @ Trevor is very steep/uneven! You're better off stopping in the flat lay-by like @Stu did! (We know how he likes lay-bys 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
