    Hope it’s not been on here before, but not visited much lately.

    Just in time for our coast to coast week on wednesday. Now I can see how hard our climb up Cairn Gorm will be.

    Nice call – must be relatively new. Still some annoying lo-res patches though.

    Hope your trip goes OK – looks like a High Pressure area arriving this week with potential for clear air but Easterly winds (LOL).

    Steve – there’s also Streetview for most of the road out of Stonehaven!

    Good. Least I’ve not got to worry about route, now tracker Dave is going. I’m gonna have to cancel one accommodation place very soon – Olly doesn’t want it does he?

    It’s a week on wednesday we start – overnight Stonehaven on the 19th, ride wed 20th.

    Fingers crossed for the weather, the midges.

    🙂

    Year, there’s still a fair bit in low res – Mt Keen area for example. Maybe it’ll be done shortly. Nice to see some of it in high res before we go, especially our crazy Cairn Gorm climb.

    You can easily make out the Fort William DH track on Aonach Mor

    Never, none of new fangled elktrik up here laddie! It’ll confuse the haggi and make the Irn Bru go flat.

    brilliant

    good to see most of the n/w looks as much like another planet from the air as it does form the ground

    Still shows our end of the village being built, so no newer than ten years or so – but certainly other areas are far newer.

    Looks good. Just a few of the more important bits left.

    Hmm, it seems like the areas which were lower res before are still lower res, and it’s just the bits that were already decent which are improved? Or is that just me?

    I don’t think so – last time I looked there was none of our route in even decent res.

    We’ll be stopping at The Boat Inn, Aboyne for lunch on the first day :).

    I dunno about high res but the images have certainly updated…complete lack of detail now in areas I’ve been looking at…just some real fuzzy images that look sort of like trees.

    I’ve been checking out Minchmoor and Inners XC. The new track layout is there, so it can’t be that old.

    Isn’t old, just seriously low res where I’m looking…

    Dick – try to find your house – it must be over 5 years old.

    The pics were taken about 2001, just before the work started to create the estate…the proposes plan for the first phases is marked as a road (but the road names obviously changed)…saying that, the trail I have been going on about down the front does look ‘possible’…still no more detail than was there previously though…shame really.
