Quiz Time (General Knowledge & Out of Area)

[DaveR]

For my next guess, I'd say west coast of Anglesey and Rhoscolyn and a wild guess, that you visited the White Eagle too.     

Correct on all counts, Hugo. 

[DaveR]

Where would you find this odd looking bar?

[Fester]

Oh, thats BRILLIANT... I have no idea where it is, but it's like a Spanish Galleon, and I wanna go there!!

[Meleri]

Perhaps a day out in Blackpool to The Winter Gardens would do it Fester. I'd come with you if Captain Sparrow & Will Turner were the bar tenders 

[DaveR]

The Winter Gardens

Correct! The Galleon Bar in the Winter Gardens complex:

                     Where did I spot this yellow floral circle in a field today? I wasn't close enough to see what they are but I think they could be daffodils.

[Michael]

  To me it looks very,very similar to the approach to the first green on my golf course. But its not. Unless I have become yellow blind

[Gwynant]

  You're right Mike, it's not the approach to your first green, but is is in North Wales and obviously only visible in the spring months. To quote Hugo in a clue for a recent quiz question, many forum readers will have passed within 100 mts of it, using one of two available modes of mechanised transport, and it is also within 500 mts of a famous site of Welsh legend.               
 I only noticed it today as I was looking from some way off, back towards a follically-challenged bird of prey.........

                                                                                                                                                                                 
                                                                                                                                                                               

[Hugo]

I might be a long way off the mark but it's obviously near a railway and main road but judging from the new track  I think it's the Welsh Highland Railway and the follically-challenged bird of prey may be the young Osprey chicks just south of the Aberglaslyn Pass.
But 500 metres from a site of Welsh Legend?     
Maybe Portmeirion, maybe not,  I need to have another think on this as I haven't really got a clue.     

[Hugo]

A very wild guess at Beddgelert  on the western side of the A498, just before the fisherman's path and the site is Gelerts Grave with you looking in the direction of the Osprey's nest.

[Gwynant]

               Very good first guess M.E., but Hugo is more or less there. It is looking across the Afon Glaslyn from the footpath on the eastern side of the river. I've never seen it before, but of course you have to be there in the spring and it doesn't show up on Google Earth! A very good guess at the osprey chicks at Pont Croesor by both, but the "follically-challenged bird of prey" I was referring to was Moel Hebog, (literal Cymraeg translation = "Bald or bare hawk or kestrel!), on the lower slopes of which the floral ring is situated. (See pics).
                Mrs Gwynant and I had a trip out to Beddgelert on the WHR, walked the Fisherman's Path and returned on the bus to Caernarfon, the visibility was superb and Snowdon and the Nantlle Ridge were crystal clear.

Where would you be if you were sitting on this bench?         

[Hugo]

Perhaps this photo will help to find where you will be if you sit on the bench?

[Hugo]

It's near to a large Church but where will that Church be?       

[Hugo]

You would be lucky to get a seat here at the weekend as the place should be buzzing!
