Hi Guys,
I was just wondering, was there any reports of a mobile camera being around at this location today? 50.857793 -0.225580 ?
As I passed, I noticed there was a silver car parked in the lay-by, with what looked like 2 cameras looking out the back.
Couldnt see anyone around in yellow jackets etc..?
I even went back around to have a second look and still couldnt decide.
Naturally I only went to have a second look, as at 50.85816 -0.23001 my datalogger showed doing * slighty over * the NSL _________________ TomTom 700 GO user since Dec 2005.

I think we have accepted speeding tickets as proof that a camera was at a specific location in the past although its a rather drastic way to submit a location - Mike |

Thanks Mike,
Well I certainly hope I wont have to send in one of them to prove it was a camera!
I expect it wasnt - but even after a slower look I still could not be sure on what exactly was looking out the back window!
Cheers

Hi Darren,
Im not good with makes of cars at the best of time!
I would say it was something like a corsa or a small merc one ( A100 or something? )
Think it was possibly just my imagination playing tricks again!
Many Thanks!

Got a pic of the back?
Dont really know possibly?- would the cameras only be in a smart car if it was?
I expect it was the head-rests were`looking` like square boxes for the 2 secs i went passed! _________________ TomTom 700 GO user since Dec 2005.

Just a wild guess as they're being used more and more by various organisations for monitoring, survey etc. _________________ Darren Griffin |
