Unfortunately there are many such which sound ok but are just poorly written - NC’s effort is a jewel and his pedigree is also impressive.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-3846286902284975902019-03-10T22:53:24.356+00:002019-03-10T22:53:24.356+00:00I think I'm right about the C2C.

All I can say is that this was my idea with some acknowledgement to Nick Crane and his Two Degrees West.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-2286257005182785232019-03-10T08:34:28.896+00:002019-03-10T08:34:28.896+00:00Didn't Wainwright devise his Coast-to-Coast ro...Didn't Wainwright devise his Coast-to-Coast route by first starting with a straight line? I have to say, I'm very taken with this idea. I enjoy your sildeshows and, clicking through this one, the sudden and unexpected appearance of the Rhino really made me chuckle.
