How nice! One for the East Midlands Crew, then:

It looks vaguely like the pub in Stoke Bruerne which has been used as a control on one of Liz Creese's 200s.

But it isn't

It reminds me of a canal trip on the Leeds-Liverpool but I can't think quite where.

"But it isn't...." a PUB!

Yes, a canal. But while it has "Liverpool" associations, tis not the "Leeds and ...."

What's the rule on how long before I tell and end?

A (sort of anagramatic) clue.

Pedal hard, pedal slow,
To the smallest cafe
You shall go.

Eight letters rearrange hard slow

That would have to be Shardlow then, at the end of the Trent & Mersey canal

Just so! The cafe in the rear of the Old Salt Mill. One of the smallest I've been in - and shortest opening hours (11-mid-afternoon, Sats and Suns only!).

How annoying. One I actually knew (having lived in ~~purgatory~~ Derby). Once you'd said East Midlands, I thought I recognised it. But I didn't post

You snooze; you lose, eh? $:-\$

Does oncemore mind if I rekindle this thread with a new pic?

Crosby beach?

a bit further south, I'm afraid

walk south from crosby until you get to barcelona and the weather gets nice and warm, and then walk much much further south until it has really got quite chilly again and there are penguins

PaulR · « **Reply #3065 on:** 20 August, 2010, 10:44:40 am »

another nudge - here's one in a less advanced state of decay

border-rider · « **Reply #3066 on:** 20 August, 2010, 10:46:02 am »

Somewhere on the Californian coast above San Francisco ?

The name eludes me.

No, it's in the southern hemisphere

Mr Larrington · « **Reply #3068 on:** 20 August, 2010, 11:11:58 am »

If it's got penguins my guess would be Seth Efrika, but I'm not about to narrow it down any further

PaulR · « **Reply #3069 on:** 20 August, 2010, 11:19:30 am »

oh, no, not SA

head round the other side a bit...

andrew_s · « **Reply #3070 on:** 20 August, 2010, 04:44:00 pm »

Cold and penguins could be NZ, Chile, Argentina ot the Antarctic.

Based on probabilities, I'll guess South Island NZ

Aha, now we're getting there. As far as I know, the place in question is the only location for this particular sort of weird rock malteser. But I may be mistaken.

border-rider · « **Reply #3072 on:** 20 August, 2010, 04:54:09 pm »

Oooh then I've been there. I thought it was California but I've def. been to a beach with those things

edit:

found the relevant holiday snap

I'll not reveal the answer tho'

PaulR · « **Reply #3073 on:** 20 August, 2010, 05:18:28 pm »

They're so weird - I knew they were going to be there but I was still amazed when we walked up from the car park and these things hoved into view. We all had great fun standing on/in them but two sons got stranded on one as the tide came in and chose that moment to have one of their intractable rows. I had to stride out into the surf and lift younger son off the malteser and haul him ashore.

Are they stromatolites?
