Er question 1:

Shall I chalk that up on Strow's tally?

 

[JennyMorgan]

Nooooooo! That'll put him two ahead! 

Since Norwich has recently been promoted as being the only city in an English national park then I would have guessed that Mousehold Heath was the highest point.

7 out of 7, no problem.... 

...but then I had the advantage of being a lifelong Arthur Ransome fan, and no finicky hangups about the precise wording of the "Broads National Park" title.......

I couldn't get past the first question!

[deebee29]

7 out of 7 for me

pure guesswork on 4 of them

[RumPunch]

Never read Ransome so dropped one there.....

[Poppy]

7/7 - but I made the obvious assumption about question 1

[Polly]

Amazing! I got 7/7 on that! Like Poppy, I made the assumption on Q1

[LondonRascal]

I got 6/7 as I did not make any assumptions.

[JawsOrca]

6/7 from me.. the boats not called Doris

 (I'd call it Doris.. Actually the next boats called Doris).. 

[FairTmiddlin]

7/7 for me once a Norfolkian always a Norfolkian

[Broadsword]

7 from 7 for me... Similar assumptions!

[1Drab1]
