Following previous discussions here, I have added a google earth link to the Harewood website. It works fine on my pc but can someone else check it for me please. Bottom of this page

It didn't work for me. All I got was a 461byte .kml file, whether I right or left clicked on it.

But the question is do you have google earth installed

(I'm running 3.0.0762 with a build date of Nov 17th 2005 btw)

Aha!.....now I see the problem. I'm actually sitting in the British Embassy in Basra and the Foreign Office system doesn't allow things like Google Earth, Ebay, etc. I have some Google earth images on my PC, but I had downloaded them in Kuwait as jpg files so that I could view them here. sorry for my ignorance.....I only saw google earth for the first time about 6 weeks ago.....I'm about 2 1/2 years out of touch.

doesnt work for me, or at least not as planned. It comes up as a zipped file, which i had to unzip to get a file to click on, which then loaded google earth.

Did everyone else end up with a south facing view? very odd i thought. Plus when i spun it to point north up, it remained at a 45 degree viewing angle like it was a 3d image!

When i navigate myself there its a totally different view, competely vertical. Like its a different image.

works great for me. Google Earth is fantastic and it shows just how bloody tight country corner is!!!!

Try this one then.

Especially poignant for those of us who remember what a great little circuit Ingliston was.


Ok - that maybe doesn't work. Suffice to say that the late great little circuit which was Ingliston is there in high definition.
