It’s not very obvious on the ground unless you know it’s there.

Those are difficult.

@Houns - is that part of a county cricket ground?

@welshfarmer - somewhere in mid Wales or Shropshire?

Tillydogs has a definitie southern uplands vibe to it. Glentress area. I will have a good look on GE and see if I can match it. Listers Bothy is NW highlands somewhere at a guess. Skye maybe?

Mine is much further south...

I thought @Lister's might be near Uisinis (Uist), but having looked, I don't think it is.

(Apologies to Lister for diving in - I thought it had gone quiet.)

No - much, much further south. It's a very popular spot.

@Houns By any chance, are those trees (or woods, if you will) behind a major building society's offices in a large town in Wiltshire?

Uber niche knowledge required for this one. Or just local.

I've worked out the arrow one from Rich_s with a bit of googling as I was familiar with a more famous one on Brean Down, it's to guide pilots to the bombing range, built WW2 era.

Yup and yup. Well done 👍

I've never been to the range (Ashley Walk), but was wondering if there was a crater from a grand slam or tallboy bomb drop I could put on here. Then I remembered that arrow!

Friend showed me on a ride a few years ago. Little oil pot holders in the arrow to show a flare path. I was told it was used to plan an attack on a submarine pen

We got to 2 or 1m. It was a random junction in a small French village. We tracked it down by looking at the road signs and a business that was in the shot.

@ElShalimo it took a while but found it in the end. I assumed that you hadn't changed the orientation which made me think of the NE coast. Found a railway line that ran close to the cliff and voila. Marshall Meadows bay. Does this p[lace have any significance to you or was it a random choice?

Anyway, I will now go and find a MTB related one

Those berms are doing my head in! Are they in Wales?
I want to say BPW but can’t find them there…

@lister, not BPW. Won't give any more clues though as they will be obvious to several on here I am sure.

Alright. A little clue. I haven't ridden them 🙂
