Guest Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) Bump -- It's been updated both maps and Earth. Picture is clearer and dated to 2015, apparently may but I suspect later in the year. Lots of new spots opening up on maps now, get looking :peace: Edited January 20, 2016 by Captain Kush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zug Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Think I'd like to propose a "new" guerilla growing rule/tip... If a plot looks good from Google maps/Google earth, it's not a good plot. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RandyBoBandy Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 i think, and i might be wrong... but what he means is if you see a big open patch then the chances are someone asle has also come across it on the maps.. the way the scene is growing so use maps... but just dont go for the obviouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Yeah I understand that. Could be quite a problem for urban growers. I'm up at 54 which isn't too popular round my way it seems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zug Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm thinking exactly that Randy. Looks good to you then it also looks good to other growers and dare I say it potential rippers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNorthernMonkey Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I didnt think there were many others, I was massively wrong. I agree, if a spot looks good on google earth - its usually not the best come inspection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, if a spot looks good on google earth - its usually not the best come inspection. I second the last part, the vast majority of spots on Google Earth that look good aren't at all and it must be something like 1/5 spots found gmaps that turn out suitable Come inspection, if not less Edited January 21, 2016 by Captain Kush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noddy Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Well at least with the google maps you get a rough idea of the area you going to look at planting , I just print off maps of the area mark places that look okish , now I just get the wife to drive me round the lanes hehehe ,I guess if we was parked up I can always put me arm round her make it look like a couple out for a bit in the woods , she should be so lucky can't even get me leg over the side of the bath these days . well guys and girls if you find mine be prepared to climb in the nettles and brambles stay safe out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flighty Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 @@Captain Kush find a patch of brambles that you know of, then you'll know what it looks like in the map. They ain't easy to see tho. Also it depends what time of year the pics were taken e.g. in winter it will all be dead, therefore even harder to spot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried that one, still can't find any I've got a bramble spot I might grow in if its not occupied by another grower, which it may be i haven't been inside it that far yet, here's an areas inside that's cleared and access is perfect only problem is dog walkers and maybe tractors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flighty Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I wouldn't worry about dog walkers, as long as they don't see you going in. My best spot is about 5 meters from a busy footpath. Why not try just a few plants this year, guage security for next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
