I wonder if it's a different Ouse - the Bedford one, perhaps near Ely?

Right river, wrong ~~city~~ town.

damn, I've rowed on that. Is it north of Ely?

Tempsford Bridges?

And confusingly the start of St Ives Head of the River. *

Like Mike I remember sculling under that bridge.

* Anyone know if Huntingdon HoR uses the same course?

Give us a clue?
Northern or Southern hemisphere?

Bomb crater on the Western Front? Arras?

right idea, wrong place

Simonb · « **Reply #3560 on:** 24 January, 2011, 11:58:11 pm »

It is (was) the Western Front then?

andrew_s · « **Reply #3561 on:** 25 January, 2011, 11:27:46 am »

yes, but not at Arras

Simonb · « **Reply #3562 on:** 25 January, 2011, 01:47:21 pm »

Verdun?

andrew_s · « **Reply #3563 on:** 25 January, 2011, 01:57:11 pm »

Not there either.

Simonb · « **Reply #3564 on:** 26 January, 2011, 02:04:41 pm »

Somme?

andrew_s · « **Reply #3565 on:** 26 January, 2011, 08:40:33 pm »

heading the wrong way

Tourist Tony · « **Reply #3566 on:** 28 January, 2011, 01:41:08 am »

Chemin des dames

andrew_s · « **Reply #3567 on:** 28 January, 2011, 04:40:56 pm »

No, Arras is the closest so far.
I presume people have guessed what it is?

clarion · « **Reply #3568 on:** 28 January, 2011, 04:47:42 pm »

Well, I thought simonb had it with bomb crater. Does it need to be more specific?

andrew_s · « **Reply #3569 on:** 29 January, 2011, 12:23:15 am »

It's rather bigger than your average bomb crater (about 80m across)

Tewdric · « **Reply #3570 on:** 29 January, 2011, 12:30:44 am »

Messine Ridge? It's a mine crater I would guess.

andrew_s · « **Reply #3571 on:** 29 January, 2011, 09:48:22 am »

that's the place - any idea which one?

Tewdric · « **Reply #3572 on:** 29 January, 2011, 10:52:57 am »

Not without googling. Am I close enough?

Tewdric · « **Reply #3573 on:** 30 January, 2011, 09:45:11 am »

Here's one anyway:

gordon taylor · « **Reply #3574 on:** 30 January, 2011, 10:11:52 am »

I think that's the castle somewhere between Dunbar and North Berwick.

But I can't remember the name without Googling.
