Bicycle Tag of bike

I used to live about 50 metres from their shop when I was a student up in Edinburgh. I'm fond of my courier, but it's showing its age. I'm going to pick up a frame from Armourtex tomorrow so in a few weeks I'll have a new steed. I'm very excited!

In order to compensate local residents for the loss of the old communal garden, the Duke of Westminster insisted that a paved Italian garden featuring trees in tubs be placed on top of the substation.

You know, whenever people (rightly) question the role of the aristocracy in Britain, it's nice that sometimes you can raise examples like this of things that would just be so much worse, but for them. The Duke of Westminster is also behind a rule that states that if you demolish something in Chester you have to build something that looks exactly the same as the thing you demolished. This sometimes meant that you got a replica, but most often meant that developers found a way to preserve the original, as a replica would fall foul of building regs. Thus preserving the old Medieval and Roman city and making it such a magical place.

My local substation is nowhere near as exotic

I have managed to track down the last tag. It is searchable but it took a lot of digging to turn it up. It's fairly close to me but I'm bikeless.

Sorry - me again...

Banksy tunnel - Leake St:

It's not round here:

I'm done now.
(not a clue).

I think this last one might be a re-tag of sorts, from a different angle. Something about the fencing ....

This may well feature on London's Famous Subterranean London ride on Sunday (shameless plug).

Oops. Will check the map.

Dude! Sort put your photos! Bigger and clearer please.

He says, as BQ got the earlier and KTB seems to have sussed your latter.

Nothing anywhere near here on the map.

The fence is kind of important though.

Just a gentle reminder on the map, please sign out of google when looking. Several pins have been moved in the last few days, one or more about 20 mins ago.

It takes a very long time to go through 400+ tags individually to work out which ones. If anyone has any helpful tips of how to check more easily which pin has moved I'd be very grateful, thank you ;)

^^really? it does look a helluva lot like a previous tag. and your original clue would make sense. but surrey if that's a false accusation

^^ Tag rage!

I don't want to get [B][B]carried away[/B][/B], but pretty sure it's a previous. Hard to tell from the map though, sometimes.

Railings like that have been tagged before, however there is more than one location for that type of (recycled) railing..

Dude! Sort put your photos! Bigger and clearer please.

Yes please some of us here have old eyes. Can't see anything in the new tag. Post big!

By my reckoning it's the other side of the ground from the last tag near here. Which is exactly what I did up at the arsenal not so long ago so my vote is to allow it.

And hasn't Leake St been done before too?

Said the actress to the bishop...

Old tag, Percy Circus, where lenin used to live, and possibly on the steepest gradient in zone 1???

i'd never heard of this place before the tag but this description tickled my fancy so i went home from work today via a big ol' detour in the wrong direction with this tip-off of a new hill to play on.

as a hill it was a big disappoinment, not getting particularly steep at any point and not going on long enough to make you work. *but *it's a cool and quirky spot. the fact that the roundabout road itself is not even remotely flat is very unusual and fun

and the thread keeps on giving

^^^^I would agree with your reckoning! I think when checking the map, he's done a Fox and only seen the first 200 tags...

Please sign out of Google folks when looking at the map - to view all tags at once and to keep the pins where they are:)

Is there a way of editing the first post to include the reminder to sign out?

Sorry to keep ranting on about it...

there might be a new way round it...

http://earth.google.com/outreach/tutorial_spreadsheet.html

this should allow us to make it spreadsheet based, which will stop tags being moved.

I'd started working on it, but my version isn't great, I'm still playing with the templates at the moment. Template 6 has now been modded to work nicely, I think anyhow

Have a look oat44/anyone else and see what you think...

My spreadsheet: http://goo.gl/a7p6A
The map from it: http://g.co/maps/mf2r4

Thanks Mr Drem, that's an interesting way of doing it, worth a look
Cyclotron3k just PM'd me too with his nifty back up system that automatically [I think!] tracks any changes to pins.
All very reassuring!

My way is a lot of work to get the old tags in, but should show both photos, and link back tot he posts for them.

I've got the first 7 in, but at 10 minutes a pop, I'm looking at 33 hours ish to get them all in :S

Should be easier once they are there though, and anyone should be able to add them to the sheet.

I can write some instructions for adding them if we want to go that way :)

Done Mr Oat44.

Well yes, zone 1 is pretty much flat as a pancake! Maybe coming out of the aldwych underpass is steeper? Someone could go round with a GPS and find zone 1's true steepest street, but it would still be not very steep. I don't have a GPS, so this is being delegated to someone else. :)

By my reckoning it's the other side of the ground from the last tag near here. Which is exactly what I did up at the arsenal not so long ago so my vote is to allow it.

And hasn't Leake St been done before too?

Damn, you are right. I was convinced it hadn't so I didn't even check the map.

Having said that, mine was of a particular graffito there, which peaked my interest because unlike most of the other stuff, it's been left alone.

Here's the old Leake St tag.
http://www.lfgss.com/post2032136-542.html
with dead photos.
but the 'found' post shows it is the other end of the street, at the Lower Marsh end
http://www.lfgss.com/post2033296-556.html
so it might still count.

If those railings have been seen before it could be one of the other places where they were used. There are a lot around London.

Those stretchers railings have been tagged before and in the same 'it's not round here' location.
