Seventy years since The Great Escape.
I spent the evening watching Dickie Attenborough, Charles Bronson and co tunnelli g their way to...twenty feet from the trees.
Mcqueen never stood a chance. He could never beat the entire German army when he couldn't beat Edward G Robinson in a game of cards.
Watched it, epic film. I read the book about Holzminden POW where some of the ideas came from. We have the original plans for that escape
I scanned them a while ago for a blog.

the programme on an hour after the film, "the real great escape" on ch5 was fantastic.
the escape from holzminden in 1917, with very little in the way of tools and resources
the film itself was based on the 1944 escape attempts from stalag luft

I can't believe it's been on every Christmas for 70 years.

Places to go before you die?
I'm assured that neither of these 2 photographs are photo-shopped. The first one is in China, the 2nd in South America.
Extraordinary.
There are another 30+ such photographs here, on a website Anna showed me last night.

Apparently, Mount Everest is NOT the tallest mountain on earth. It is the HIGHEST mountain on earth, though.
The tallest mountain? Mount Kea.
All these years I thought Everest was the tallest. Bang out of order.
It seems "highest" & "tallest" are very different.

Sorry to digress.
I sometimes chuck some concrete tales Mr K's way, and thought this would be of interest.
No photos sadly, but I gather plenty on net. We are looking at using one of our machines in the crossrail project and I had the mind blowing experience of going down the stepney green mineshaft earlier this week, a truly awesome and somewhat scary experience. Its basically where a few of the crossrail tunnels converge and it puts it into the same, but different league as some of the photos just post by Mr K.
Just found the site but still dont know how to post a link. Apols.

I have visited one of those places (probably less than a mile away) and didn't even know it was there.

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

Got it.
Jeez, is that you stood in the field, crapping yourself?
Photo taken near the Brecon Beacons, I assume?
