Warp Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Er question 1: Shall I chalk that up on Strow's tally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 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....... http://www.broads-authority.gov.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0004/496210/The-Broads-National-Park-Making-the-most-of-a-brand-which-is-internationally-recognised-Consultation-Document.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCutyCootface 4) Which is the only working lock left on the waterways? Loads .... rattle most doors and you'll find the locks work. 5) Which group of broads make up the Trinity Broads? The Norfolk Broads 6) Where is the Broads only mere? Ray's so good at woodcraft I doubt anybody could know where he is. 7) Where is the so-called Cathedral of the Broads located?
