+Team Noodles Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 I'm going to be short of time to sort a new Q out today peeps, sorry, so I'll leave it open for the next person to jump in with a Q. today turned into 3 days shameless bump Quote
+maxkim Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 Just to move things on... one that fell down and was then rebuilt... Quote
+Guanajuato Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 That'll be the Tay Bridge. If you zoom in on Google you can still see the piers of the ill-fated bridge. Quote
+GAZ Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 That'll be Workington Bridge, now called Barkers Crossing. Quote
+GAZ Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 (edited) That'll be Workington Bridge, now called Barkers Crossing. When I think on, it's the temp foot bridge that is called Barkers Crossing? (Edited to use proper punctuation.) Edited April 24, 2010 by GAZ Quote
+Guanajuato Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 That'll be the ding (of sorts). Its Northside bridge, that was washed away, along with PC Barker. I think Workington bridge is further upstream, also washed away. Link to a map of the 'temporary' bridge.It opened this week. Theres a similar temporary bridge not that far away that's been in place for decades. So I doubt anyone is holding their breath for a permanent one. Quote

Pajaholic Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 I've checked every theme park I could think of before I ran out of spare time. The lorry/van on the left side of the shot suggests it's this country (it's on the left side of the road), but I have failed in my quest. Geoff Quote
+Simply Paul Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Shadows say northern hemisphere too, but the road markings don't look right for the UK. Also, it's sunny - Could be Japan? Quote

+The Blorenges Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 It's up at the Hollywood sign in... Hollywood. Is the cache "Follow me to Hollywood"? MrsB Quote
+Simply Paul Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 Aaag! How did I miss that? I thought they were bunkers or something. Bah! Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 It's up at the Hollywood sign in... Hollywood. Is the cache "Follow me to Hollywood"? MrsB It is at the Hollywood sign, but the cache is actually Traditional CacheAnother Hollywood Cache 2 But Mrs B can have the DING for being able to read what's right in front of her eyes (I know it's only obvious when you know it's there). Quote
+The Blorenges Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 Thanks. I thought that was a good one - I didn't see it until I'd looked for the third time. Back into the UK for this next one and the cache located at A, please? Quote
daveindeal Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 It is at the Hollywood sign, OMG now i know what it is its stands out from the other side of the room, i think i was trying to look too deeply and saw them a bunkers, or land train or something.... but now Quote
+Simply Paul Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 (edited) A shubbery! That's GCJPYV Monty Python's Holy Grail at Doune Castle, north of Stirling. A great place to visit: Edit to add link to cache Re-edit to self ding and post the picture above: Sticking with movie locations, name this cache. Edited May 21, 2010 by Simply Paul Quote

+drdick&vick Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) Cache is GC1B3DG Four Weddings and a Funeral and the location is on the Thames close to Grays, directly opposite Broadness Salt Marsh Edited May 22, 2010 by DrDick&Vick Quote
+Simply Paul Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 A confident DING! to DrDick&Vick. Although the location of the icon is nothing to do with the film, the multi does take you to the 'Funeral Church' seen in the movie, overlooking the QE2 bridge Dartford crossing. Looks fun. Over to you DrDick&/orVick. Quote
+drdick&vick Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 Ok nice easy one, for some! Where is it and whats the cache? Quote
+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 is that a prison to the right? Wormword Scrubs? Quote
+drdick&vick Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 Ouch!! After spending 7 years in that place, no way would I post it up. Sorry Birdy WRONG Quote
+Graculus Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 It's Exeter and this is the cache GC1VB71 I only knew because I published it and I use Google Earth to check cache locations so recognised it!

+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 It's Exeter and this is the cache GC1VB71 I only knew because I published it and I use Google Earth to check cache locations so recognised it! Is that cheating? Chris Graculus Volunteer UK Reviewer for geocaching.com I'd say so Quote
+drdick&vick Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 The answer is correct and I shall leave it to Graculus's conscience. He can set a question or bounce it back to me and I will set a new one Quote
+Graculus Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 I'm a reviewer, I have no conscience...... Here is an easy one - all you have to do is find out where they parked all those old Concordes! Name of nearest cache as well please.

+MartyBartfast Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 I don't think this is right 'cos the Satellite image on Google Maps doesn't match your picture, but it will knock off one of the list, so I'll guess: Filton, near Bristol, nearest cache being Concorde's last home (Bristol) Quote
