This is astoundingly accurate and a great credit to you, particularly on those bits of the line where the trackbed has disappeared. I am just wondering how you did it, given my pretty useless attempts at manipulating Google earth and Streetview. Quite extraordinary how much of the old line seems walkable/cyclable. As an obsessive S&D devotee, I have managed on holiday to cycle from Bath to Midsomer Norton but then got lost/ran out of time and so your video is a basis for further exploration up towards Masbury summit. As for landmarks and reference points, they are all there if you know the line. Watery Bottom and Midford viaducts, Wellow station, Radstock centre, 5 Arches, Masbury summit, Bath and Charlton Road viaducts and the Evercreech Industrial estate are easily recogniseable.

Google Earth Pro is a bit fiddly at first but you get the hang of it eventually. Railmaps online superimposes the path of the railways on Google maps. If you switch both to satellite it gets quite easy to trace the routes. Railmaps online are doing the real work here - that's why I promote them in the description of almost every video. I wish you all the best in exploring this lovely part of the world. I've learnt that almost all of the UK can be stunningly beautiful (when the sun is shining)

great video, on the wrong approach into Radstock, otherwise very acurate
