Thanks for that, Geoff - must remember that!
I didn't have the coordinates for the actual location though, only the closest village (Brightwalton).

I use Streetmap to get the coords - find the general area you want, then you can move the map around as much as you like - the coords of the centre of the map are always shown below

Today I broke my personal record for most consecutive days alive.

Thanks for the responses :)

It's such an unusual name for a place, I'm sure there has to be a story in there somewhere, especially with Honesty Bottom just round the corner ;D

As ever I am humbled by the wealth of know how you guys have at using the resources out there, I have soo much too learn.

Regards
Louise
