World's End

Went up to a place called World's End above Minera (near Wrexham)on Monday in a fair bit of snow looking for some of the wrecks up there. Four are given in High Ground Wrecks: Beaufighter NE203, Spitfire TE210, Fulmar N4074, and Master N7442.

As with last week in Yorkshire, we found nothing anywhere near the HGW coordinates for the ones we got to.

A great day out though, and we had the added excitement of very nearly losing the Landy over a steep bank. Excitement is not quite the right word though, we were a few inches from a 30m drop sideways.

The road is basically impassable in any amount of snow, as even locals were finding out the hard way. Quite a few people went past points of no return, and we had to take a couple of carfuls back down to safety as dark closed in. I should imagine this has been world's end for a few drivers over the years, as well as all those pilots.

Rocket Testing Facility

A Remembrance Sunday out yesterday with Matt ZX and his Motley Crüe, as well as our mate Moustache Steve.

Turned a bit wet and windy towards the end of the day, but we had 100% success in finding trace evidence at the the three sites Matt had chosen, despite them all being well picked over by the usual magpies.

Passed this secret rocket testing facility, (now scarcely used) on the way. Security could be a bit tighter.
