Cheers, Pete, that's the conclusion I came to as well. I've not heard  
of a
service that offers this, but it wouldn't be rocket-science to build  
it. I
guess that's what I'll have to do.

In fact, after a bit of thought, I realised that I could set the  
original
feed going again with a four year offset, and that this would have an
unexpected benefit - people subscribed to both the 2006 feed and the  
2002
feed would be able to compare the journeys "side-by-side". So, they'd  
get
a video from, say, Kazahkstan in 2002 and one from Calais in 2006 on the
same day...

Bests,

Christian
