I know I haven't guessed any locations for ages, but I don't think anyone ever identified my snap of Lake Garda near the start of this thread, so I think I must be due another go. I've got a special one, but I reckon it's quite an obvious location:

Yup!

Oddy recognisable for something taken in the dark using a macro lens at a distance of a mile, isn't it?

Here's a really easy one. Firm jugs

I remember when I was building it thinking, "Let's put up something that people will instantly recognise!"

Those old people knew stuff, didn't they? Unfortunately, I don't know how to put a pic in a post (there must be a song there) so I'll have to ask someone else to do the next one. In any case, I'm pretty overwhelmed at having finally opined correctly that I shall have to have a lie down!

Nope. It's in Scotland, and connects two villages half a mile and several centuries apart.

What is the scale on the axes?

Flapjacks on the side, socks along the bottom.

It's the Fens of Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire. The really flat part is from about 40km south of Market Rasen through to just past St. Ives.

Apart from the spike at the start, it's a section of the Southbound LEL route (at least the DIY-way version).
