these have all been noted and I will mull over whilst relaxing on holiday! 

[Throttled]

Do both. Find ten odd street names, instead of pub names and tag 10 places of interest in each region.

Ferry booked, visiting relatives and doing the Northern Ireland tags next month.

 

@Hoggs Will Barrontop Farm, since it is closed, just be something to show you were in the area? Or can we have GOT, The Dark Hedges, Bregagh Road, Stranocum, Ballymoney as a new tag to replace it, as I quite fancy having a look at what must be NI's now most famous attraction? 

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did

[Throttled]

Returning from NI having got all the tags and a couple of pubs, including a pink pub. The Game of Thrones Dark Hedges was not worth it. Most of the trees must have been added in with CGI. Took a photo just to show I was on the road.

This has been bugging me, since online photos of the Dark Hedges show far more trees than I saw riding down Bregagh Rd. The Tom Tom sat nav sent me to Bregagh Rd, as I saw a road sign, but I now think it was the opposite end to where the bulk of the trees are and the road is much longer than I thought and it is split by cross roads. I think now that I did not ride the whole length of it. Bugger. I still claim the points, but one to watch out for when trying to find it on sat nav.

welcome to the party @Grumpy Old Git, plenty of time yet, it looks like everyone else has stalled at the moment. I'm waiting to see where the Scottish NRR takes me, to see if I can finish off on my south Scotland campaign

Hi @JRH, no I didn't, I just googled it, was it good? 

Just I did the photo twice!!! First time with a mate, bloody got home to find the phone had died and so had photo!!!!

Hence went back last week with the Missus for another attempt.

But always handy to know, as mate has moved up that way.
