Hello [[User:SpiritofMaurice|SpiritofMaurice]]. I'm wondering if you have been blinded by science. You have a splendid evidence photo but Google maps reports the hashpoint is next to a drainage ditch between two fields that look like wheat although the crop might be different from the satellite view. This is about 4 miles inland from your coastal view. --[[User:Sourcerer|Sourcerer]] ([[User talk:Sourcerer|talk]]) 06:25, 18 September 2015 (EDT)

Hello SpiritofMaurice. I'm wondering if you have been blinded by science. You have a splendid evidence photo but Google maps reports the hashpoint is next to a drainage ditch between two fields that look like wheat although the crop might be different from the satellite view. This is about 6.5 miles inland from your coastal view coordinates. --Sourcerer (talk) 06:25, 18 September 2015 (EDT)

OK - I've re-read your report. The photo shows the outstanding natural beauty nearby and is not an evidence photo. I totally agree as you can see from my 2011-06-26_52_0 report. I was blinded by my inability to read carefully. --Sourcerer (talk) 06:36, 18 September 2015 (EDT)
