Our intrepid walking group at the Tower.....note the " spider" is still there, but looks a bit dead now!
Re: Look out tower
Thanks Gunni, but the scroll doesn't seem to work for me. Others had more success?
Re: Look out tower
Indeed it is, but you can't seem to zoom in on the tower.

Do you see the controls at the top-left of the image? Click on the +. If you can't see or do this, then you have a problem with Google Maps or your settings.Geoff wrote:Indeed it is, but you can't seem to zoom in on the tower.

Re: Look out tower
I have embedded the map here.

Does this work for you?
You should be able to scroll the map in all directions and zoom or out with the + and -

Re: Look out tower
Thanks Michael
Yes, I can see the zoom & scroll buttons clearly, they just don't work for me....I have checked with Google Maps and can find the tower and zoom/scroll along the coast OK, so there's not a problem with Google Maps. The inbedded map is fine also, it's just the URL link doesn't seem to work. Never mind though. Be interesting if anyone else has a problem.

Re: Look out tower
Walking along the coast the other month, disappointed to see that the tower is in an even more sorry state:
Re: Look out tower
Maybe the camera will realise it's importance as a refugee spotting building and re-furbish it, there you go, that's better than that silly spider comment.
Re: Look out tower
....you had be wondering there...you mean Câmara ( local council!)Maybe the camera will realise it's importance
Re: Look out tower
well, surprise surprise, someone is refurbishing it!!
and here we were walking today...

I still can't help smiling when I see that photo...unfortunately, the "spider" is long dead, though a few twigs remain!Did that lady in the photograph realise that there was a bl***dy great big spider crawling down that tower above her head. Hope she was OK
Re: Look out tower
Well, it's taken almost 9 years, but the tower has been repaired...in fact, it's all been repointed as well and now looks brand new rather than a few hundred years old, but that's being a bit churlish I expect.
Well done, whoever...presumably the local camara...no sign of EU funds being used!
