Hi @Hoggs, Think the 19th AA box you were missing is the one in Eastbourne, on the seafront by the Wish Tower, there are a few more dotted around, think they also moved the one at the AA headquarters in Basingstoke to the front of building!! 

Anyway if say we get all yours, for the Bonus, then find some more can I have extra 10pts each? .

No you have to go get an axe and clear a path to get your bike in the shot

Yes no bother! 

 

I will start it right away 

 

Sadly it won't be ready until 2023  

[Grumpy Old Git]

I will not start until I get back home (Covid permitting).

I imported that GPX. File into MRA as a route as would not read it as route-track, it gives a mileage of 50119.37 miles…….. just a gentle days ride for some

@throttled 

The Heritage, my submission for a brown pub, because it is an utter shite hole.

 

omg this made me laugh so much bonus Hoggspoints for you!! 

[Throttled]

I like the pub challenge, since there is not the usual problem of Scottish pub names are quite different from English ones.

You may want to update your AA box challenge. Dunmail Raise has been blown over by Storm Malik. 

[Hoggs]

if they don't I guess just take a picture of that telegraph pole

I’ll find an excuse to monitor the situation over the next couple of months. Riding around the Lakes is  a sacrifice I’m willing to make on this occasion

Amazing dedication to the cause my good man

@JRH yup i'll allow the rainbow for *one* colour.

 

Because I imagine @Bender will ask if he can use it to get 70 points. No. No you can't.

Before I posted my Brown Pub entry to the correct place, I thought that I had better get the extremely tenuous link passed by the powers that be  @Hoggs My proposed entry is The Bakers Arms in the quintessential Cotswold village of Broad Campden, now to get to the point……. If you are lucky/unlucky (Delete which is appropriate) enough to watch mind numbing daytime television, you may have come across an offering featuring Mark Williams going by the title of The Father Brown Mysteries, now (allegedly) this pub is featured as Father Browns favourite watering hole where he regularly imbibes, this is according to Trip Advisor at any rate, so my question is will this constitute a firm link to claim this tag as a suitable entry for the “Brown” public house?
