To ease some cabin fever

[Naughty Cal]

On a similar theme to Bazza's post yesterday, a little game to ease some winter boredom and relieve a bit of cabin fever.

 

Spot the location. Some of these are easier than others

Do I get all the points?

[Naughty Cal]

None, you will have to be a little more specific than that

5 is the entrance to the Erewash isn't it where it meets the trent - not sure because I've not seen it from that angle before..

They are all in England but you cant have any points for that either.

Eastern England. Surely that's close enough

You guys are all useless. I know every answer, but I'm not telling.

Torksey Lock

 

Shame on you, you have been in Norfolk for too long. No

[choogh]

Isle of White.....?

[Naughty Cal]

No

 

There are a couple of these im suprised Gretzky has not got, especially as one of them is on his doorstep nowadays

[RLWP]

No

Well, I've tried working it out from the available clues, but my knowledge of BW handrails is sadly lacking. Otherwise, it could be on a canal of some kind somewhere in England

Maybe an analysis of the plant types and national coverage is the way to go

No 2 has a sort of familiarity about it. It's rather like Keadby due to the extra gates etc but I'm sure Phylis is going to tell me how wrong I am

Not Keadby, but you are closer than most. Getting towards the right part of England anyway

No 4 - is the NB learner steerers course... must be with all those super sized fenders againgst the bank.....

No 4 is very much in the land of tupperware. Narrowboats are very much a minority, in fact the last time we were there we didnt see a single narrowboat in the whole two weeks we were there.

No 1 is the Mersey where it meanders off the ship canal near Warrington but I don't know how Phylis got there.

 

No2 is definitely a lock, I've been in loads just like it.

 

No 3 I saw on TV last night, it's a slurry lake attached to one of those giant dairy farms in USA

 

No 4 is a tupperware party in suburbia somewhere..

 

No 5 I don't know, but the water is very still and flat so it isn't the North Sea.
