Quiz Time (General Knowledge & Out of Area)

[Hugo]

That's a real toughie and I've no idea where.   Are they on a pub somewhere in Chester?{}?

[Nemesis]

Sorry Hugo-- you are way off.
Clues? Built in 1619 it got its present name in 1863. It's name has a connection with Prince Charles.

[Yorkie]

Yorkie says Feathers Hotel, Ludlow.

[Nemesis]

Yorkie says correctly ! well done.

[Gwynant]

                   Where in the North Wales area would you find this and what does it mark?

[Merddin Emrys]

Is it the cycle path along the Welsh Highland Railway, between Caernarfon and Dinas? (Pure guess!)

[Gwynant]

              Sorry not that M.E., but you are in the right area of North Wales with your guess.
                                                                                                                                         

[Merddin Emrys]

Is it the old track bed from Tryfan junction to the slate quarry, now a footpath?

[Gwynant]

                   Sorry no again M.E., but a good effort.  When I say you are in the right area of North Wales, I mean you are within a radius of 15 miles of the location of the slate stone marker, which incidentally can be seen on Google Earth road maps (if you know where to look!).

       Merddin Emrys is actually extremely accurate in parts of both his descriptions of the site of the slate marker stone in the photo in his two guesses, (but it's not along the W.H.R. line) , but he's not geographically correct.
                                                                                                 
                                                                                                   

[Yorkie]

A short message for ME.

[Merddin Emrys]

A short message for ME.

   looks like a cycle path image on the slate, so is it the cycle path near Caernarfon on the old British Rail trackbed?

[Gwynant]

         I was wondering when you would attempt this one Yorkie. You are in fact much closer to the location and correct (as was M.E.) in saying it is an old track-bed, but not that one, which I think is known as "Lon Las Menai."
                                                                             

[Hugo]

you've been to Llangefni and Llanberis  recently so I'll plump for the disused railway track in Llanberis although I can't find it on Google.

[Gwynant]

           Not there Hugo, you must have walked this one judging by one of your correct answers on this thread, and in fact Yorkie also did some relevant research which resulted in his correct answer to another one of my questions in this area. It can just be picked out on Google, but you have to be in the correct spot, zoom down and then look over a gate!
