Continual quiz about The Bristol Channel?

[tonybarebones]

What do you think about this idea… a Continual quiz about The Bristol Channel? Here's what I was thinking…

Someone starts (me if you want)…

A question or a link to a picture we have taken in the Bristol Channel & etc is posted… we guess the answer and whoever guesses it correctly then posts another question, picture & etc… and so on ad infinitem.

I will wait for your comments and if enough are happy to do it then I will post a question… Tony Barebones. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[Allan]

I think this should be quite simple. Name the yacht club.

[Csail]

OK...here's another easy one to get us moving (I'll keep my hard ones until later!!)...

Where is this?...and for a bonus point, what's on top of the "pole-on-the-mole" ? /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[solitaire11]

appledore/bideford?

 

[tonybarebones]

Hi, Its Combemartin and the topmark is a red triangle... so there... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

 

[bluedragon]

I'll give you that Tony...and the top mark is a red triangle...but for an extra-extra bonus point, I was hoping for "red traffic cone" as the answer...but I'm nit-picking here /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif so over to you!!

PS - whilst trying to work out the nautical significance of a red traffic cone sticking up out of the sea, we sailed right over this mole at HW!! So take care everybody..

PPS - just thinking about it, we should probably give everyone 24 hrs to come in with their answers before announcing the winner. Otherwise those of us with bugger-all else to do all day will always be in first and not give the others a chance! What do you think..a good ground rule?

Hi Bluedragon, that seems like a goody, I mean giving 24 hours to answer, but there again if the question should be a stinker it could take days or weeks for someone to come up with a the correct answer but generally a 24 hour rule I’m in agreement with.

Now on with the Biz… What do Castle, Rudder, Ball and Black have in common and where are they? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

 

[damo]

Steepholm features?

 

[Csail]

Sorry , dead easy and jumping the gun.....
Who on what and where?

 

[graham]

Lizette and Ben on Bonny Mary heading upstream past the Powder House in the river Avon. Dont think I win a prize though cos I just noticed its Tonies turn to set the question /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Seems to be a mix-up in the order here...so to answer Tony's question, I think they are charted rocks in the Bristol Channel.
