    In County Durham we’ve got No Place

    We found a tiny village called Fa in the Spanish Pyrenees and on the same drive another place called Sex.

    There’s a hill called Lord Hereford’s Knob in the Black Mountains.

    Has anyone mentioned Muff yet? Near Derry in NI. Home to a rather popular diving club. As well as the main road there is also a back road, but I believe it’s hard to negotiate.
