Hi John,
Travelling up and down the Country in place of far simply using modern resources like this, frankly seems too old shool to be true.
Perhaps 'privileges' was too strong a word, to describe the dividends reaped from forged relationships. My apologies.
Peter's books are of great value, but I could not concur, that local Knowledge was of little use, which is possibly why I suggested 'factualness'. I would go so far too as to say that would constitute an indignity to the local elderlies of Kent.
I read what you say with interest, however I am a little put out by the suggestion that I get off my arse.
30 years ago I did exactly that, by bicycle I explored the old Airfields, and visited Kew, with a friend, at the age of 14, when yes I agree, things were harder, what with no internet.
But just because my seniors had to do things the hard way doesn't in my mind mean that one should now unnecessarily endure the same degrees of difficulties in doing so.
All the best, to you both.
Dave
