Quiz Time (General Knowledge & Out of Area)

[Hugo]

While we were stuck in the UK and having to put up with one storm after another, Old Uncle Albert left his walking mates and flew away to a warmer place
The Old man did send us some photos but where had he been to.   It shouldn't be too hard as the clues are there

[SteveH]

Did it involve feeding fruit to the natives .......

Spent a special birthday there the weekend Monarch Airlines went bust , stayed on the cruise ship.
Bit of a hike to the top

[Hammy]

As I recall this is one of the roads through the Rock of Gibraltar?

[Hugo]

Well done to the three jet setters, it is of course Gibralter.       


I don't blame old Uncle Albert for escaping to there and missing our Winter storms

[Hugo]

We went to  this local nature reserve today but where is it?         

[Hugo]

Time for some more photos, perhaps these may help

[Hugo]

This Local Nature Reserve has a variety of Ducks and is good for fishing.    If you are lucky you might see a Terrapin there.too.
It's not in Ruabon or Buckley but is a more local nature reserve but where is it?             

[SteveH]

Out of area and local ?         And I think you have been here before?

[Hugo]

It is out of the area Steve and it's a Local Nature Reserve, at least that's what it says on the Advertising board by this pond.      There are Carp in the pond plus many other fish but no Red Herrings, would I try and make it harder?         

It was in the news years ago when it was claimed that the Terrapins "were as big as dinner plates".

It is more local to the Three Towns Area than Ruabon and Buckley but it does have something in common with those two places but where is it and what is it called

[SteveH]

Brickfields Pond, Country park in Rhyl, Wales

[Hugo]

Well done Steve that's a very good bit of detective work.               

Ruabon and Buckley are both associated with Brickworks but the Rhyl Brickfields Pond is the "Local Nature Reserve" where I was yesterday

This should be an easy one for a Wednesday morning.

Where is this building and what was it called?               

[Hugo]

I remember coming here years ago and the walls of the property were White washed,  the place looks so different now                     
                                                       

[Hugo]

There may have been some changes in the village but the old Chapel is still there in Dyffryn Conwy
