    Ta! That's the bloke, I was thinking of Conan Doyle, Kipling, Rider Haggard, et al but I knew it wasn't any of them, especially Al before anyone else gets in with the joke. Which novel, published in 1949 and originally to be called 'The Last Man in Europe' has the opening line: 'It was bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen'?

    Half an answer - "Lost Horizon". Can't remember the author.

    Don't they have Wadsworth's 6X at the Bayshill? That's always worth a detour.

    There's Open Street Map: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/All_in_one_Garmin_Map/Regions I don't know how good the OSM maps are in this area but may be sufficient. They're free anyway so it won't cost anything to have a look! I'd take a paper map and compass anyway if I was going off the beaten track.

    I've had a P7 for a few months now and it falls into the category of my current kit along with my GPS62s and ipod Classic - if I lost it or broke it I'd replace it with the same thing. I don't think you'll have a problem.

    Sorry to diss your favourite author! In which decade were L-plates made compulsory for all learner drivers in the UK?

    His white gold ring wasn't it? I always thought the author of this series, whose name escapes me, relied a bit too much on Tolkein for his ideas.

    Same here, I've done most of the urban ones near my office, plus some to get puzzle cache clues etc, but I wouldn't go out of my way to do more.

    Ta! The Royal Mint are advertising gold sovereigns: "2011 Gold Sovereign at a sensational price for collectors! Beat coming gold price increases and order now!" Face value £1 as mentioned above, how much to the nearest tenner would one of these cost from the Mint? (I'll shout higher and lower until someone gets it right!)
