So while in the local park with my eldest boy we entered into a small wager on whose path through the park is shortest.  In a short(ish) amount of time I considered using the satellite view in Google Maps to measure the two paths.  Trouble is, the satellite photography for Naas in Google Maps is dire (click to enlarge).
