Have been thinking is it possible to get GPS data onto Google Earth - the only way I can do it is with an overlay - here is an example with the anti-landing trenches mapped on Sun. I can clean up the overlay by removing the waymarker no's in future images - it should be possible to map any trench in this way (although not sure if it actually adds anything!!)
As the title suggests, just a lazy post today, a few pics of CRE Colchester design pillboxes in the Sudbury area to round of the thread on this May visit. Also one pic of concrete road block cylinders now being used as part of river bank defences. This is the first time I have come across this type of road block in Suffolk although I suspect it was probably used quite widely on this Stop Line, perhaps I will come across more examples / references in time. These pictures do show a timeless landscape - traditional floodplain meadows still used for grazing, with the Second World War clearly marking its presence. Lets just hope both the pillboxes and grazing meadows will be preserved.
