Not Birmingham, then?

No. The water is actually blue.

Yup, a nice easy one to keep the thread ticking over. The water is blue even when you are swimming in it.

IK will give you a clue: it isn't in England. I remember a busker there, who had clearly 'learnt' his songs by listening to recordings, and who just as clearly spoke no English whatsoever. My friend wanted to pay him to go away...

He did - he's in Hebden Bridge at the moment.

I think it is just suspended limestone, but it is gorgeous.

Which one was that in reply to?

I'm rubbish at these, so here's one closer to home.

It is. And I went up there last Thursday baht'at, which I thought was terribly daring.

Beware the worms. Or is it too late by then?

The song is about inevitability. So it's already too late

... before it's even begun. Reassuring, if somewhat Calvinisitic

Well, my turn apparently, so where's this?

Has anyone got any idea about Bomber's pic on #4217? It's still bugging me.

No one?

Nobody interested - does this help?

It's a place that has been featured in a BBC TV series in recent weeks. If nobody guesses it this evening, you'll have to wait until Friday for further information, as my PC is going to be out of action Monday to Thursday.

Roundstone, Connemara?

andrew w · « **Reply #4373 on:** 25 September, 2011, 08:51:13 pm »

Correct! As featured on "Monty Halls' Great Irish Escape".

We were there in 2008, and we stayed in the adjacent cottage to the one that Monty Halls had, on the island of Inishnee. He did well to have a Landrover - in the week that we were there, I never managed to get from Inishnee to Roundstone or vice-versa without scraping the bottom of my car at some point on the rough track between the two.

Thanks - massive clue helped. How about this one?
