Bulleidboy Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Finally twigged the cycle route number is a good clue here - last square is just north of Marazion Yes it probably was a bit of a give away - to be honest I was so busy checking that there were no names or road numbers in the square that I missed that clue!

Guest Belgian Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 A duck on the edge of a city next: A duck on the edge of a city next: The city being (73050) "City of Peterborough". Try this, a duck about to leap into a pond: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that feeling , having deleted a previous square when I noticed an A road number - but only after I'd posted it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Warnham Mill Pond to the NW of Horsham: This duck is by a mainline - depending on your age, you might have seen a Hymek on this route but that clue may send you in the wrong direction: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Time for another clue as you're obviously looking for that Hymek in vain: Nearby you will find a feature whose name suggests the resting place of 72010 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hengist(bury Head) was a total givaway to Christchurch: Now try this, there's only half a duck: was the other half bombed away? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagrizz Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Clue - In 1969 Roger Whittaker had a hit single with a dreary song about this place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Oh yes - it WAS a dreary song!! Your duck nearly got locked up in Durham: This (part) duck might be on parade: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulleidboy Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Your duck has just checked-in at the Holiday Inn on the SW outskirts of Norwich: This one might be too easy, as the duck has taken up residence near a very appropriately named village: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagrizz Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 This is the square to the east. It is a freight-only line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 This is the square to the east. It is a freight-only line. I admit defeat - have been through every freight only line in my rail atlas and can't find this duck! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Belgian Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) I think it has a passenger service running over the line, just no stations are still open (It's the line from Ferryhill to Stockton, built by the Clarance Railway. Stillington lost its passenger services in 1952:* Now try this: The direction of the main line here is different to its name. * It took me 3 minutes to find the square, but has taken at least half an hour to find a railway timetable map to see if there is any pasenger service over this line - Northern Rail do not have any map of services on their site at all! How do they expect passengers to find out if there is a service to where they want to go, or, rather, to find out where the nearest station is to where they want to go? In the end I found the on-line National Passenger Services map that is like those which were included in the huge timetable books we once had to buy, and it confirms that there are NO passenger services over this line, as dagrizz originally stated.

Bulleidboy Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Back to the current duck which is SE of Hawkley, between Wigan & St Helens: Our next duck appears to have reached the end of the line: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Belgian Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Perhaps he's a subversive rather than submersed duck? The head of the Duck Underground, at Stanmore This is a quickie, you have 15 seconds to find the incredible Dancing Man - I've just put him in as he amused me - - so that's the bonus square which isn't necessary for the game although part of his mate appears in the actual square to find I think that, maybe, Dancing men (and, Strictly, Dancing girls) should replace ducks . . .

eastwestdivide Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) The quickie is Fort William Edit: the other one is Tenterden. Blast, have to find one myself now. Dancing person or duck?

Guest Belgian Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) You shouldn't have said it was iconic . . just The Sea Wall . . .

Bulleidboy Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I think that the "dancing man" theme is an afront to those of us who have a flock of ducks stored on our computers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
