Not sure if this is any good? I've made a google map to which everyone could add their location (roughly) so then you can work out directions etc.

Here's the link to the map if you want to add your details:

A good idea Matty, why am I only the 2nd marker on the map?, I just used it also for a chap who is calling to buy some gear- lots of uses for this so "come on you guy's get your location up on the map"

To add my details that is.

Thats a good reason Sharkey, if you use the link to the map & then click on the help link it takes you through it quite easily, however from memory you just need to click the "my maps" link then "new map" & place your marker. You might then need to register with google but it will tell you what to do, I had to go through all this but it's quite simple really only about 15 min. in total(y)

I think Geoff that you need to post a link to the map that you have created, I can't see how to put another mark on the same map, I had to create a new map, if anyone can help please advise !!!!
