[monty28428]

Take that shot with your cannon did you ?

[Roy Mathers]

Well, I gather from Monty's clue that it's Cannon Beach - but I can't get closer than that.

[Sir Plug]

I can and it's a hotel...........I won't be able to post, so I'll not name the place just yet.............

[Roy Mathers]

I guessed it was a hotel and I can only think of the Cannon Beach hotel.

[Sir Plug]

You need to make your Mark..........

[RandallC]

I guessed it was a hotel and I can only think of the Cannon Beach hotel.
I'll officially confirm that it is a hotel, and it is Cannon Beach.
You need to make your Mark..........

[Sir Plug]

Hallmark Resort, Cannon Beach......

[Roy Mathers]

South of Saltwick Bay?

[Sir Plug]

South of Saltwick Bay?

No, North

[Sir Plug]

Sean, get the kettle on. A drink before the walk!

[Roy Mathers]

It must be Kettleness then?

Not quite, hence the need for a walk!

[Sir Plug]

I'm not giving it to you that easily! Right area now, though

[Roy Mathers]

Sandsend?

[Sir Plug]

Wrong direction

[Roy Mathers]

Runswick?

[Sir Plug]

Yay, yep. Runswick Bay, looking North.

[sparkin]

Well done Roy, and good WAIN Sir Plug.

Runswick's had an eventful past. They had to rebuild it three hundred odd years ago when it washed into the sea one night.

[Roy Mathers]

It took a time getting there (helped along by various clues). Here's my next -

[Roy Mathers]

It is indeed the town of Garda itself. Well done Sean.

[sparkin]

Here's another - probably won't last so long ... wain ?

[Sir Plug]

Got to be the UK, is it in the south?

[sparkin]

Got to be the UK, is it in the south?

Yes and No, in that order.

[BmanH]

I know this one! Platform 9¾ at King's Cross Station.

[sparkin]

I know this one! Platform 9¾ at King's Cross Station.

Not quite, but the (real) Hogsmeade station is on the same line!

[BmanH]

Not quite, but the (real) Hogsmeade station is on the same line!

Wow. I was just being facetious but my joke was actually somewhat helpful.

[Sir Plug]

[Roy Mathers]

[Roy Mathers]

Pickering railway station?

[sparkin]

Grosmont?

Not Grosmont, but you're on the right track! :D

I knew it'd be easy.

[Roy Mathers]

Thanks Sean - here's my next one.

[sparkin]

It must be this place (below) - overlooking Deia.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/stuartpeck/2166709740/

[Roy Mathers]

You're almost there Sean. It's not actually overlooking Deia - and to whom is it a monument?

[sparkin]

I'm going to guess William Waldren, and guess again that it's at the museum he founded there.

[sparkin]

... or perhaps in the Church grounds ?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/mike828/2056119033/

[Roy Mathers]

You're quite right - it is William Waldren, and it's a monument to him actually in Deia. I was going to give it to you anyway, as I'm going to bed now!:)

[sparkin]

This is from quite a while ago ...

[Sir Plug]

I know this, I'll wait a while.........Can you see Sting in the background?

[sparkin]

I know this, I'll wait a while.........Can you see Sting in the background?

Yeah, I sort of figured you'd know it - we seem to go to the same places.

[DDCSD]

That's freakin' cool!

[sparkin]

That's freakin' cool!

Very cool! Except when you're stood right by it - then it gets quite warm. :)

[Roy Mathers]

[Roy Mathers]

Is this anything to do with volcanic activity?

[sparkin]

A Mediterranean Island?

No.

[glhs509]

Is this anything to do with volcanic activity?
I'm sure it has something to do with Magna...(darn Americans can't spell! ;))

[Benelli]

I'm sure it has something to do with Magna...(darn Americans can't spell! ;))

Magna...Grecia! Greece, Athens?

[Sir Plug]

[sparkin]

No.

I'm sure it has something to do with Magna...(darn Americans can't spell! ;))

:lol::lol:

[sparkin]

Magna...Grecia! Greece, Athens?

Hmm. About a quarter of this is right, but the rest is dead wrong.

[sparkin]

... and I see Sir Plug is quietly chuckling away ...

[Roy Mathers]

A Greek island?

[sparkin]

A Greek island?

Nope, nothing to do with Greece in any way.

Yes Tony, UK.

[Roy Mathers]

Anything to do with mining?

[tonylong]

Is this associated with the Magna Carta Memorial?

[sparkin]

Anything to do with mining?

Not directly. The original use of the venue would have relied on mining for raw materials at one time or another.

[sparkin]

Is this associated with the Magna Carta Memorial?

Not in the slightest bit.

[Roy Mathers]

Is it in the north of England?

[jacuff]

Templeborough district of Rotherham, England?

That's right Randy! Over to you.

[RandallC]

That's right Randy! Over to you.

Yeah, sorry to swoop in and grab this. But I finally put all the little hints together.

I have nothing handy, at any rate. So I'll turn it over to the first taker.
