Back home now. We did have some sunny days but very windy for most of the week.
I didn't know the bell was made in Loughborough, so interesting to know that thanks.
Steve H , you obviously know the answer so do we leave it for others to guess or should I reveal all?

H. Leave it for awhile, let the others have a chance to see it    (on previous page)      $good$

Here's the answer then. Well done Steve H who knew it all the time.
Valletta, Malta. The only country ever to receive a George Cross.

Thanks Hollins... Looking into your quiz question, brought up some unexpected historical information, the company originated in the 14th century, and is the world's largest working bell foundry ..... Cont https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Taylor_%26_Co

It's very near a footpath in N Wales and many walkers must have gone past it this year, but where is it?

A good try Bri but it's not correct

Perhaps you didn't see it when you may have walked past it this year?

There are many paths here but they don't all lead to a dead end

I didn't expect this one to be hard as it's on a walk that some forum members have done before.    This guy knows where we were and kept an eye on us all the time

You've got the Church right Bri, but isn't this the walk that you were going to do with some friends?

No more clues so here are the results of the quiz:-
Hugo   1 point
Steve   0 points  ( wrong side of the Straits )
Bri Roberts   minus 1 point  for not noticing the RD  marker


I don't know what the marker was for but it's at the base of one of the towers on the mainland side of the Britannia Bridge
