newcastle 4 miles/km?

MiCr0

Hi All,
any idea where i might find a photo of a road sign to Newcastle showing a distance of "4" ?

i tried a quick look on google maps around the Irish towns with that name, but no success.

Thanks,
MiCr0

would probably be quickest to commission it?

1. Find all irish towns named 'newcastle'
2. Around each one draw a circle of radius 2km and another circle of radius 2m.
3. Identify any road junctions on or around these circles.
4. Link all the points of interest up in some sort of weighted graph.
5. Apply favourite algorithmic solution to the 'travelling salesman' problem* to weighted graph.
6. Start driving.

*Important to note: travelling salesman problem is NP-hard !

we're focusing on the coloured map problem first ;-)

If you travel to beautiful Greystones, Co. Wicklow I am sure you will find a signpost with Newcastle on it probably a 4 also in the vicinity of Greystones and its environs

You could probably find one on the google 360 maps so you know where to drive to. or you could also put 'The photo below mine will be of a Newcastle 4k sign' in the challenge post

I might be able to help. I live in Newcastle, Tipperary. I had a look there on Google maps street view, and can't find any with '4' as the distance..... Would you be up for some photoshoppery??

Here's one I found down the road, already prepared, with no distance....:rolleyes::D



Edit: Is that a question mark??!

Daycent I'm just o'er the mountain from you so (Broe/Knocknafallia)

OP I'll have a look around too, not sure but coming from the Melleray side (Daycent you might have a chance to check that out sooner than me my work takes me down Dungarvan way) there might be a 4 km one. Actually I'll have a quick look on google now.

This is 4miles from Newcastle (Co.Down)

The grafitti might not be there no more, or bring some cleaning products :-)
