yorks5stringer Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I've duly managed to get myself included on the alphabetical list but any effort I make to see who is close to me seems impossible as the UK is crowded out with pins. Am I missing something, is there a way to see who is close by to me? Also, how come there are 2 USA's shown but only 1 UK, is it like a parallel universe or a twin neck bass...?

Oddly Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 @yorks5stringer you should be able to zoom right down to street level. From a quick look at the map, it just seems you're the only bass in a 50-mile radius. As for the 2 USAs thing, if you zoom out enough, there's actually 6! God help us. On the issue raised above about leaving yourself open to robbery...or homeless bassists turning up on your doorstep for tea and toast...I do strongly urge vagueness in pinning yourself.

Nowt but a few miles to Zeals. You live in Zeals, does that make you a Zealot ( bet that's not the first time you've heard that). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's lovely round here isn't it, we live in a fantastic part of the world. I often walk the woods around Stourhead, I should investigate Gasper too. I'm the only person I've heard use that phrase!

If you know where the water wheel is just past Stourhead, you can walk from there all the way up to Alfred's Tower, have a snack at Alpine Coffee Caravan and return via a slightly different route. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorks5stringer Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Would be helpful for the map to have a category for Trolls, I know there will be some in Norway but what about the ones over here in UK ( you know who you are)..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super al Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I'm on this map and it turns out I'm 3 or 4 miles from fellow BCer @skankdelvar Although it's probably best to remain 3-4 miles from me at all times and during an easterly breeze 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two in adjoining villages is pretty good going. I wonder if there are any in the same street… see you in the Fox and Hounds or The White Horse…… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
