Yeah, I forgot to tell them I would make a sub-domain; which is kinda useful anyway as due to my migraine yesterday I didnt manage to make a web page for it.

There is direct links from the YouTube page anyway as well as links to both here and my site on the video itself.

Cheer's for the scan Mark, much appreciated!!

Nice one Matty, just spotted this in the globe.

Yeah, the editor of the Globe was alerted to it by a collegue/friend and was fascinated by it.

He contacted me via YouTube and asked me about it, I had to ring him with some details, phoned me a few days later for some more details etc and to clarify a few things. Originally they wanted to print a photo of me with me camera (oh how geeky) but they decided upon having a photo of the mirage itself instead, which I felt was more appropriate (not to mention less embarrasing).

Maybe they will one day notice the Bidston tunnel stuff? Maybe it's something that they have noticed but would prefer not print at present for whatever reason?

I suppose there would be no harm in one of us contacting them to enquire if they would be interested in the story, and the History and design of the tunnels themselves?

if we can get a local paper interest in some of the stuff you have posted about, maybe you could get a petition going to get the tunnels opened by the council.

As good as that sounds etc, this is Wirral Council we are taslking about, and they would rather waste hundred's of thousands of pounds on a stupid Viking boat monument then preserving our heritage and historical places of interest for future generations...

Just look at the trouble the Tranmere Tunnel's group have gone to to try and secure funding, and still WBC have no interest in helping the project!!!

I found out today that this windfarm is called the "Burbo Bank" windfarm.

It is approx 7.5km offshore.

Here is the official website for the windfarm:

http://www.dongenergy.com/burbo/index.htm

Originally Posted By: Dong Energy
The Burbo Bank Offshore Wind Farm comprises 25 efficient wind turbines and is situated on the Burbo Flats in Liverpool Bay
at the entrance to the River Mersey, approximately 6.4km (4.0 miles) from the Sefton coastline and 7.2km (4.5 miles) from North Wirral.


The wind farm is capable of generating up to 90MW (megawatts) of clean, environmentally sustainable electricity. This is enough power for approximately 80,000 homes.


The wind farm will contribute to tackling the issue of climate change. It is estimated that over the 20-year operating life of the wind farm, the savings amount to 6.4 million tonnes of carbon dioxide, together with significant amounts of other greenhouse gases.
