Any one can tell even now that a bridge went over the path at this point.I must thank jim for the very interesting few hours we had together knowing what you are looking for makes all the difference and jim knows what to look for.At least i could talk about a few things when we walked along the valley at Fulneck my neck of the woods no pun intended.Ps I took one or two pictures but im about as good has jim with a computer. Thanks Tilly. Yes, I know exactly where you mean. However, it never occured to me that there had been a bridge there! It's obvious now you point it out! Where does the trackway go in each direction, particularly westwards?PS Keep trying with the pictures. It took me ages to figure it out!

Tilly - are you using IE7/8 or another browser? Hi chameleon sorry to say this but i dont know my laptop is Windows Vista my search engine is Google Chrome. And with a computer im not at home. lol Hi Tilly - the reason for asking is that many of the browsers ( the application you use to get onto the internet) don't seem to work for uploading pics to Secret Leeds.If you are using the original stuff that came with your machine, most likely you are using Internet Explorer which should be ok.ouve checked the file (picture size) which you say is ok. The bits at the end of the file name when you look at it (right mouse click on the image or name on the list and choose properties. Amongst other things this will tell you the file size and look to make sure it has the letters jpg in the name (the file type).If all is ok..... who knows

tilly/chameleon,from what tilly said I think he isn't using the browser pre-loaded. He did say he was using a search engine of google chrome. Chrome is actually a browser but does work a bit like a search engine in that if you type something in the address bar it will search for relevant "hits"

Hi Si the track is hard to follow but Jim thinks it went up the hill to the west not in the valley bottom.Thinking about it i think he is right the valley bottom is or was prone to flooding it would have had to be at an angle in line with the beck.If im wrong Jim will put me right.

jim wrote: Tyke Bhoy, how could I be offended by overwhelming technological supremacy? I stand in awe and prostrate myself (difficult, but with gritted teeth it can be done) at your feet and worship. My missus asks if I'm going to put any grovelling in, but after careful consideration I've decided to let it stand. Jim I am not that brilliant myself but asking you to post pictures on here is something akin to asking you to run a marathon the day after you learned to toddle.It is relatively easy but you do need some prerequisites.You need to be able to upload from your camera to PC.You need to know how to edit/crop those photos so that they are of a size and filetype that SL (or the software that poers it) excepts.You need to use Internet Explorer as Firefox, Chrome, Opera and most if not all other browsers won't work with uploading to SLYou need a bit of patience because even given the other prerequisites it only works first time every time if you are very lucky.A lot of our novices struggle with the first 3 but it would appear you wouldn't have any difficulty with the last.There are a "few how to"s in the Technical Support Forumshttp://www.secretleeds.co.uk/forum/Threads.aspx?ForumID=17

You may have become a “victim” of Micro$ofts recent attempt to comply with EU requirements on its monopoly in that if you had never changed your default browser (a preloaded version of M$’s Internet Explorer) then M$ gave you a choice of browsers to change to. Internet Explorer should still be on your computer and you will need to use that to connect to Secret Leeds if you wish to upload a photograph.For clarity a search engine is a page on the internet on which you input search terms and it returns results. A browser is what provides the window that shows the search engine and its result and through which you browse the Internet.HTH Tyke Bhoy
