Er...'Bamburgh--getting closer'

Not from Warkworth you aren't It's a hell of a lot closer to Tynemouth!

JenM · « **Reply #4980 on:** 21 March, 2012, 07:28:08 pm »

Apologies Steph - actually I hadn't a clue where Warkworth was but knew Bamburgh

Jurek · « **Reply #4981 on:** 21 March, 2012, 07:34:10 pm »

I'm happy for anyone to come up with the next conundrum in abeyance of my having anything appropriate close to hand....

I am due a go...

What is it with you and wild pigs?

A girl needs a hobby....

Is it time for clues yet?

andrew_s · « **Reply #4986 on:** 25 March, 2012, 07:38:18 pm »

random guess:
Beechenhurst?

Steph · « **Reply #4987 on:** 26 March, 2012, 09:50:15 am »

Nope. The subject itself is a collection of clues.

Peter · « **Reply #4988 on:** 26 March, 2012, 09:52:00 am »

Isn't there a hill called The Hog's Back, in Surrey or somewhere south?

Salvatore · « **Reply #4989 on:** 26 March, 2012, 09:54:32 am »

Schweinfurt.

Such a boar!

Pigges* Marsh, Tooting?

* Now called Figges, following Edwardian gentrification, but we know...

hellymedic · « **Reply #4992 on:** 26 March, 2012, 03:31:34 pm »

Piggy place names include:
Auchtermuchty
Toller Porcorum
Swindon
Kingswinford
and many, many more...

Steph · « **Reply #4993 on:** 26 March, 2012, 04:22:56 pm »

That is exactly the clue, pigginess. And what it is made from.

~~Boar-ham-in Wood~~
Borehamwood?

clarion · « **Reply #4995 on:** 26 March, 2012, 04:30:15 pm »

Not Blue Boar Services, then?

Steph · « **Reply #4996 on:** 26 March, 2012, 04:35:55 pm »

Nope, not the Watford Gap.

clarion · « **Reply #4997 on:** 26 March, 2012, 04:37:48 pm »

There's a Hog Wood near Kemsing. I saw it on the map, after Jurek told me about Knatts Valley.

clarion · « **Reply #4998 on:** 26 March, 2012, 04:40:08 pm »

And, now I think of it, there was A Boarshead Wood near Crowborough.

I'm guessing that both of those are probably wrong, though.

Steph · « **Reply #4999 on:** 26 March, 2012, 05:30:20 pm »

They are, I'm afraid. But people have the idea. I googled to see if there were any other pics of my latest piggy, and it would appear that before I met him he had another ear and an intact bottom jaw. I am sure that made someone happy...
