RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted October 31, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) You shouldn't have said it was iconic . . just The Sea Wall . . . Didn't think it would last long, but it seemed an ideal one as it's just down the road & fitted "the theme". I think that the "dancing man" theme is an afront to those of us who have a flock of ducks stored on our computers! Sorry to duck the issue!

You have a flock stored? That's dedication. I'd rather (Eider rather?) go and find one on the spur of the moment. Muscovy be going, work to do.

Guest Belgian Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) A group of ducks is called a badelynge, bunch, brace, paddling, raft or team. Also, one might call it a dover of ducks. (As well as a flock). I think they're much more exciting than a simple 'flock'. JE Edited October 31, 2011 by Belgian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 The current "dancing man" is making his moves just to the East of Bolton station: Perhaps one of you can find this drake, or his dancing partner: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted November 2, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 2, 2011 It's right north of Wedgewood station (with a "V" in that square!) Sorry can't load image at the moment. Back a bit later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted November 3, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 3, 2011 Sorry - things got busy, then couldn't log on Anyway, we were looking at Wedgewood: Next is another duck. I still have a feeling someone's got a whole bunch of these saved & will recognise this straight away, but if not, a nearby location might make the previous duck annoyed.

eastwestdivide Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 (edited) More grass or what's its wing worth? Or even a home for a bird? Leaving it to someone else, as I recognised the flyover straight away, but don't want to skive of work any more looking for another square... skive OFF...OFF... my brain knows how to spell but my fingers have a mind of their own.

eastwestdivide Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Right, work finished Previous duck was between Chesterfield and Clay Cross: Near to Wingerworth, Grasmoor and Birdholme Next one has a duck connection, but not an actual duck icon: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Shades of "Open All Hours"... It's Arkwright Town twixt Bolsover & Chesterfield: Just to prove that I'm not obsessed with ducks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Belgian Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 (edited) Hmmmm . . . who'd have thought you were obsessed with ducks now? . . . not the dancers in Penrith: I'm sure there are dancing girls around here, although that's the edge of a dancing man's circle on the right: Edited November 5, 2011 by Belgian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Belgian Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 The dancing girls are very chaste . . . and probably love a cricketer who bowls them over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Belgian Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I could give you another clue, but it would probably be censored (you'll get this one once you locate the line!), so I'll try a rather more conventional one which is that the line seen points in quite a different direction to that which you would normally expect of this place and the important part of the name of the railway company which built it would also make you look in a different direction . . .

Bulleidboy Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Have just read your clues - your girls are dancing in Maidenhead: Duck or dancer?? Ah well, the coin came down tails: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastwestdivide Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 ...the previous answer reminds me of the joke about the couple on the Penzance sleeper: Him: whereabouts do you think we are now? Her: a long way past Maidenhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Belgian Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Tut tut, and there was I pulling my clue about Maiden head! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 This is an interesting area of the map as the square to the South East has a duck and that to the North East has another dancer, though the railway goes through neither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Another clue - we're looking for a mainline location (with excellent TV reception?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Well, I didn't expect this one to last so long...... At the nearest station you might cling t' Norma! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 It seems help is needed to find our dancer BUT all the adjacent squares have "give away" names in them. So, the level crossing is close to milepost 9 but about 277 miles from our London terminus. If I told you where the 9 miles was measured from it would be too easy!
