[Closed] Silly Place names you HAVE to ride to!

The Gob in Blewdley.

Descent round my way that goes down 'Grandfathers Bottom', bugger of a climb though.

I have often found myself in Tomtit's Bottom, but have yet to venture to Slutswell. And on my way to work I often go through Dunkirk and near Pennsylvania.

Theres a place called bar end somewhere near the forest of Ae, near to Dumfries.

Then there's Sandy Balls near Fordingbridge, although it always seems to rub me up the wrong way....

i've been to ****t on the Orkneys.

Cocking on the South Downs is always a favourite. Nearby is Cockshot Wood.

few crackers in northumberland that spring to mind:

Wideopen

noplace

shitlington.

PENISarwaun near Llanberis.

I was about to post about bellend near santa pod too!! I ended up there lost years ago.

Shatton, near hope

Wet Wang & also 'Land Of Nod' - I did have a photo of the latter but I can't find it.

Here is the wiki entry [url] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_of_Nod [/url]

There's a village near Londonderry called Muff. And just past the main road is the back road to Muff. A much tougher ride apparently..

The builders merchant in Muff is called Divers as well, no joke....

There's [url= http://www.forestry.gov.uk/website/recreation.nsf/LUWebDocsByKey/EnglandBathandNorthEastSomersetNoForestBristolWoodlandsParadiseBottom ]Paradise Bottom[/url] in Leigh Woods just outside Bristol. Always makes me smile

i ride to work...thats a silly name

Loving the muff, bet those merchants get some stick! A place called cumguzlin cant be real! Really? Catherine slack is good, thong is such a good word! Really liking the Bell end Farm, does that make the farmer a bell end!? Can you imagine the conversation when he walks into the local?!!!Loving the lovelace yes I am old enough to know/remember the reference, RIP Linda. Be nice to organise a ride to some of these places, would love to be reading oout the route itinerary. Anyone who s****s gets a ride forfeit! 😆

Fan-y-big in the brecon beacons always makes me s**** like a 15 year old (as does Fenella Fudge the Radio 2 newsreader for some reason!)

I've been to a town called Moron in Mongolia and all I got was a charger for a Nokia.

There's a "Spanker" pub on Spanker Lane not far from here - get a lot of annoying phone calls, apparently....

quite a grim one near me is gallowstree common.

I always like the road out of Much Wenlock towards Shrewsbury as you have to go past Wigwig and Homer. I secretly hope that there is a Doh! somewhere close. There is also a shop in Knockin where there is, of course, a shop.

Another favourite are the Wallops (Over, Middle and Nether) in Hampshire.

My favourite local one that I just have to ride past is Bottom Farm. I just have a mental picture of the rows of the eponymous crops somewhere over the hedge.

Nearly forgot, had to do an inspection down Virgins Alley a couple of years ago - lovely spot it was too......

Bell End is 3 miles from my house

I think you'll find it's a lot, lot closer than that... 😉

We should be riding to Shiteburn Lane and Grope**** Lane on Saturday's Pootle. they're not called those rude things any more though. And unlike most of the otherwise innocent placenames on this thread, these two mean what they say. 😳 Which is why their names have bin changed.

...think you'll find it's a lot, lot closer than that

I thought you lived in london

Bell End is 3 miles from my house

There's a Benny Hill just above Hollingworth Lake near Rochdale, that one always makes me smile.

Grope**** Lane

Grape Lane in York wasn't always called Grape Lane, it was renamed for precisely the same reason.

I have a customer just up the road from a place called ****ing, in Austria. Have a look on google maps 🙂

Forgot the other ones round here, you can go via Cockshott Lane to get down Happersnapper Hanger and also via Queens Corner to get on the bridleway over Titty Hill.

This town pretty well lived up to its name:

http://satinbowerblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/back-from-italy.html

I was gonna say Penistone, which I always say Penis-tone, unlike the locals who say 'Pennystun'. Anyways I can do a road ride through there and Thongsbridge, Netherthong and then Upperthong.

There's a place called Cocklick End at Gisburn Forest...

My girlfriend found it very amusing when we were down your way and insisted I posed for a photo in my bibs by the sign....

hahah rocketdog that's great.

There's a sluts hole lane between spooner row and black Carr in Norfolk. People keep nicking the sign.

Lord Hereford's Knob, a Welsh hill not far from Three Cocks.

I give you Knob Lick Post Office, Missouri.

Ah, for this you need [i]Far From Dull[/i], have we done No Place or Tiptoe yet? More from the NE in [i]Abberwick to Yetlington[/i].

Like Elfin said, this is the shorter version of the name that the street used to be known as a long time ago when the area was used by ladies of a loose reputation 😛
This ones in Shrewsbury by the way.

Along the south side of the a14 there is a village called lolworth.
It always makes me giggle. sometimes out loud.
