Is it Stroud?
Closest so far.
I might ride out to check if the light is gas tonight if the weather is OK.

Nailsworth?

I'd be going in the wrong direction if I went to Nailsworth
(speaking of which, has Jaded got the low-down on the riotous goings on at the Nailsworth festival this weekend?)

ps. The weather doesn't look OK, and I expect the cafe would be shut anyway.

chez Windy mansion

I wish - it's owned by a man from Stoke though (Ian Scarr-Hall)

He got the house and the locals got the land?

Robinswood Hill?

andrew_s · « **Reply #261 on:** 01 May, 2008, 08:39:24 pm »

Not Robinswood Hill.
The bit of Gloucester I live in, that would be in the wrong direction too.
It's steep enough that the chap in red, and the other one you probably can't make out behind the trees, had to walk up.

To recap the clues so far.
It's north of Gloucester, within an evening's ride
in/on the edge of a town
There's a steep hill and a cafe

Great Malvern..?

Dinamo · « **Reply #263 on:** 02 May, 2008, 10:17:02 am »

Place and name of monument, please

Greenbank · « **Reply #264 on:** 02 May, 2008, 11:52:35 am »

The Minehead Marker.

Well done Greenbank - is there a similiar statue at the other end ( Poole ) ?

No idea. The last time I went to Poole was 20 years ago.
