Not really a road trip, apart from it's a trip on the road...

your welcome, obviously we have to rmaintain the steely focus of this road trip... as it's in the name of science... or something....
and that professor Mark Felton also bears some responsibility, in all this afterall he could have replied to my email and said that was all really interesting but not really what he was looking for.... and then we could have avoided all this...
So I blame him.... for this... cos someone needs to be blamed...! the prick....
just informing myself cos the estimated allied drop of munitions was in the region of 20 million tons, some equally hard to grasp amount...
here is the german program the jist is the major areas that took heavy bombardment are and should be considered dangerous, most interstingly the russia muntions that are still coming to light some 30 plus years after they left....
there's also loads of dutch folks sneaking about doing this....
but my trip is onto private property, to which I've been given access rights... it's in the middle of the countryside and it's doubtful that it should be that heavily contaminated....

the tank in the first video at 2.40 mins was owned by an old boy who lived up the road from my aunt.
there was more to that story than got reported as everyone knew he had it.... so it must have been the machineguns in the cellar that did it...

Do it… I kept getting asked by the quack if there was any history of…. Which is a bit pointless if you are adopted. Was always a bit concerned about the birth surname.
Turns out my grandad was a war dodger flitting off to the USA from Aberdeen when things got hot in Europe, my mum born in Boston to a woman from a village in Nova Scotia where every headstone had the same surname. The last bit in the puzzle is that 50% of me is from Orkney.
Good job it was standard practice to piss off to London in the 60s to have kids and get em adopted. I’m 200% Scottish if I count the real parents. Should be dead in 3 - 9 yrs.
I fucking hate adventure and planning to go on an adventure.... cos as soon as you say this is what I'm doing it all goes to shit...!
there's always unfinished business, some on here might know I've been in a dispute with the two different households that are my neighbours the first
a chartered civil engineer claims that "water does not run down hill" so the flooding we've had for down his lack of drains... for the last 5 years have nothing to do with him.... and it's not his problem
the other a solicitor claims "the tree his side of the fence has nothing to do with him" and so it's not his problem
the tree died 8 years ago I did go round and point it out to him, sent them picture from google earth and copy of our boundary etc... the bloke then shut the door in my face....
an in some degree they are both correct, they can ignore the problem, however the problem then gets really upset about being ignored and usually does mentally unwell and badly thought out....
Monday "The mysterious stateless tree" came down preventing me from hiding in the shed, to carryout out my secret work... Which I'm now lagging behind on to get to germany, FFS... I do have other shit in my life, that needs my attention....
Anyway I climbed over it's got to be 1.2-1.5m at the trunk, the plan was to get to the chainsaw and all that stuff, about a 5-6 trips in all.... then just to scale the problem I climbed up the trunk, it's solid.... but got my leg tangled in all the ivy and detritous, slipped and fell off. Leaving my leg insitu.... which didn't end as I expected, to my great fortune the broken fence panels (my fence and fence panels) slowed me down... enough so I didn't crack my head open...
torn ACL and now a more angry version of me exists, which I didn't think was possible...
the WANKERS....
and now I do feel I've covered the trip element of this adventure

this video is pretty much in keeping, it's pretty good provides some more of the story my adopted grandad, would talk about. He was a bodyguard to a in the occupation amongst other things with different roles and tasks to complete. He later ended up in Mi9 and went on to be a speech writer for MP's and did alot of consumer affairs style journalism...
The route for this trip Stage 1 via Krefeld for a collection
After Siegen Castle it's direction Nuremberg to attend a works thing....
Then it's up to catch up with my mate from school and get any updates I need to know as he's been looking into this aswell. We might to have a look at the most dangerous lake in germany the site where the british disarmed the german s and basically threw everything in the swamps....
I have an appointment in Hamburg have to work out how to fit that in, it's abit fluid....
I need to end up here, have a look at where my dad was in school.... (I ended up in a similar place down south might have a trip down that way when I next get a time out)
Then another meeting in Schleswig to discuss a project, that's taken a tumble and needs a trim up.... after that I'm on my own to do as I like what could possibly go wrong....
Oh and I have a scan on my knee this coming monday to workout what I did to that

final count down on repeat...
jeans, leather vest and cowboy boots packed mullet coming along nicely.... so should blend right in

just setting up the metal detector and this map has some bearing on things, there's a fair amount of iron rich sand concentrated on the right side of the land mass. Which could affect any possible readings, it's sadly not simply switch it on and it does all the work...
My knee it's still in a brace so as trips go it's just perfect, I've been thinking about this for f*cking ages and only have this time free... so can't undo what is already in motion.
.............. blue dotted line ice age approx 10,000 years BC. the dotted line shows how much glacial deposition is and what's under it right side sand stonem left side marsh land

- Marshland (West): Dominated by fertile Gleysols and Fluvisols, which are high in clay but susceptible to compaction and sensitive to water levels.
- Geest (Center): Dominated by nutrient-poor, sandy Podzols, which are generally less compacted but have low moisture retention.
- Hilly Region (East): Characterized by loamy soils (Stagnic-Luvisols and Stagnosols) derived from glacial till.

As for my dickhead neighbour who still maintains the tree isn't his, I've had the lads round to get rid of it which took 3 days to clear it up, then Dave the Fence came back to tidy up. I left the trunk dickheads side, then went to Birmingham to drop some items off at the proof house
