Last April while I was walking the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, the man carrying the Google street view camera passed me by just after Porthgain.

A year later and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path is now able to be looked on Google maps, I even found myself on it, striding on as if I was a professional, lol. In truth there was a man walking a few hundred yards ahead of the man carrying the camera tellig people that the camera man was just on his way and that he couldn't stop and talk to people etc etc

Nice hat, Brian :)

 :D It was one of those Berghaus summer hats with buttons on either side but the wind was just flapping the sides about and annoying me so it was easier to button the sides  O0

April day on the Welsh coast = sun hat and waterproof jacket  ;)

Hi


That's fascinating! Was the guy with the camera moving very fast? He managed to have a view of your back too. Do they pixellate everyone or was this just specially for you  ;D ?


I was doing that section of the PCP a couple of months later (see www.greenlives.org.uk/pcp21.html ).  Wish I could have seen him and appeared (pixellated of course) for posterity!
