Aaaaaaand... the website is back!

LANDMARK CHALLENGE UPDATE:

4 DAYS TO GO!!

Landmark 4 in group 4 will take you down Hampshire way... to a location that, Simon Barron has found, was important during both World Wars. During WWII it was the main training location for Canadian troops...

My no. 4 related photos today made me grin - who can get all 4 in at once?

LANDMARK CHALLENGE UPDATE:

3 DAYS TO GO!!!

Landmark 3 in group 3 will take you off to the seaside, with the option of fish & chips. In fact all the landmarks in group 3 are water related - great research by Simon Barron!

My number 3 related picture today features a group of glamorous ladies, much admired by Prince Charles! 

Apologies for the late post, got carried away with my steam mop!

LANDMARK CHALLENGE UPDATE:

TWO DAYS TO GO!!!

Landmark 2 in group 2 is a fun one - head to Dorset to view a rather well-endowed naked chap in all his - ahem - glory! He's usually assumed to be ancient, but there's no mention of him in official records until about 400 years ago. Full details are on the spreadsheet, which will be circulated, along with the map, by Simon Barron on Sunday.

My number 2 related photo today is of me & my twin sister (!) out having fun! Please don't mention the lockdown weight gain!!!

LANDMARK CHALLENGE UPDATE:

ONE DAY TO GO!!!

Simon Barron will be sending out the spreadsheet & map tomorrow!

We're so excited to see what you make of the Landmarks, and to see which ones you choose to visit.

If you visit Landmark 1 in group one 1 you'll find yourself at a railway station which featured in a Bond film.

The group 1 Landmarks all relate to the Nene Valley, which was the obvious choice for the first 10 really
