The Dive Circle and marking Poles with arrow completed! Before anyone says it the outer circle isnt complete on google maps! :roll: However i could refere to a Cranberry Picture of Wainfleet but its at least 8 year old and the circle has been moved since then...

The poles thingys are actually really helpful, as the barrels arent viewable from long distances but the poles do! So its easy to align yourself early and know where to aim (well to some degree)...
