You know it ain't a problem dude! I have to mail ya tonight so we'll sort it out then.

As for roads being adopted. My parents live on the Mawdach estuary in Mid Wales. The modern coastal road bisects their land and the old coastal road is just below it still (I think it's the only place it is still evident) a narrow shelf just wide enough for a cart with steep drop to the estuary below and rising sharply up to where the new road is. When they moved the road it was discovered that the old one was in fact adopted and improved by the romans at some point. It winds like a loon, but surely along the coast and mountains you have no choice.

To the north there is the incrdible roman road to Bala with a great roman fort looking down above that horrible power startion. There's an ampitheatre there too. AND there's an old roman road (still with roman surface exposed) that leads to the gold mines way back in the hills. I must dig out the photos and shove 'em on TMA.

Ride On!!
