A Pictoral Mapping Quiz

[+Team Noodles]

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

[+maxkim]

Just to move things on... one that fell down and was then rebuilt...

[+Guanajuato]

That'll be the Tay Bridge. If you zoom in on Google you can still see the piers of the ill-fated bridge.

[+Guanajuato]

In a similar vein...

[+GAZ]

That'll be Workington Bridge, now called Barkers Crossing.

[+GAZ]

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

[+Guanajuato]

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.

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.

Shadows say northern hemisphere too, but the road markings don't look right for the UK. Also, it's sunny - Could be Japan?

[+Sleepynow01]

Here goes is it Toyko disneysea resort mysterious island. Nearest cache Maihama Fuji GC27NV9. This answer was inspired by the wife. If i get the ding can some else post a pic.

[+Haggis Hunter]

I would say that was a well earned DING?

[daveindeal]

That is a big well done

 

DING

 

Thought it whould have you stumped for a while with the lefty lorry

[daveindeal]

I'm sure there are no islands called : £%$^ this, let's go.

[MrSockPuppet]

bumb - come on guys (and gals) anyone got any ideas ???????

[+MartyBartfast]

Using the clue it's Disappointment Island, nearest cache seems to be quite some distance away and it's

 

A Rakiura Nugget (Stewart Island)

Edited May 17, 2010 by MartyBartfast

[+The Blorenges]

Possibly Bryher or Samson, Isles of Scilly?

 

Nearest cache would be "Birdman's Cottage" on Bryher.

No takers? It really is easy, there's a H U G E clue right there in the picture if you look carefully.

Edited May 21, 2010 by MartyBartfast

[daveindeal]

i take it your refering to the strange eifle tower like object in the centre,

 

ive had a look around and not quite sure, rocket tower, oil drilling, communications tower ????

 

not quite sure..

[+Simply Paul]

It made me think of a mountain-top observatory but I can't make out any likely-looking features. More clues please

[+MartyBartfast]

More clues please

 

Well the answer is writ large right before your eyes.

[+Simply Paul]

You mean this is the Hungarian Unsightly Giant Erection site, outside Budapest..?

[+The Blorenges]

It's up at the Hollywood sign in... Hollywood.

 

Is the cache "Follow me to Hollywood"?

 

MrsB

[+Simply Paul]

Aaag! How did I miss that? I thought they were bunkers or something. Bah!

[+MartyBartfast]

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).

[+The Blorenges]

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?

 

[daveindeal]

 

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

[+Simply Paul]

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

[daveindeal]

unless your evil

 

and you twisted the picture round, its somewhere south........ looking at the colour of the water im saying UK

Edited May 22, 2010 by daveindeal

[+drdick&vick]

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

[+Simply Paul]

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.

[+drdick&vick]

Ok nice easy one, for some!

Where is it and whats the cache?

 

[+drdick&vick]

bump

[+Birdman-of-liskatraz]

is that a prison to the right? Wormword Scrubs?

[+drdick&vick]

Ouch!! After spending 7 years in that place, no way would I post it up.

Sorry Birdy WRONG

[+Graculus]

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?

I'd say so

[+drdick&vick]

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

[+Graculus]

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.

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)
