A Harvest Festival ?


Those tiles look familiar.

[MartinR]

Try this one then.  What is happening and, of course, where?

[John Walker]

Well done MartinR.  It is indeed the Memorial Park Boating Lake in Herne Bay.  Many years ago it had rowing boats and canoes now it's just model boat at the weekends.  The large island used to have an ornate bridge.


Over to you ...

No, your directions weren't wrong, I'd vectored ENE as NNE and got a cross from the Barton's Point ESE vector at around Shellness.  Once I "got my bearings" right, I chased along the North Kent shore until I came to Herne Bay Memorial Park, which indeed does have bowls, tennis and a memorial nearby.  I suspect that the outer Thames Estuary/North Sea is a "much larger volume of water"!  GSV even has someone preparing a model boat on the lake.  Camera was at:

• Nat Grid:                  TR1765167759
• Nearest Post Code: CT6 5RD
• Co-ords (WGS84):   51°22'02"N,001°07'31"E or 51.367167,1.125380

which is on the footpath around the lake on the eastern side looking north-west.

Are we still on the Island then?  Somewhere near the Isle of Harty?

Not on the island.  Unless I've got my directions wrong, you need to head ENE from your Faversham Lakes guess for a few miles.

War Memorial Close by.
(Remember that the wide angle lens makes it look larger than it is)
