Jurek takes the palmares. Told you it wasn't rural. Surprisingly lovely little spot in Sarf Eees Lahnd'n.

Sarf Ees Londres does have some surprisingly nice spots.
This isn't one of them

Chain's a bit slack.

You do.
But that's good enough.
I deliberately cropped the top off Cascades - otherwise it'd prolly be too obvs.
You'd be surprised if you knew how long it took for that to be recognised in a similar quiz on Another Forum....

Indeed, Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas.

Whoop!
I'm a) conscious of thread-hogging and
b) have little to offer at the mo.
On which basis I'm more than happy for someone else to take the mantle, as it were....

Here's possibly an easy one.

Not quite so exotic.

Top deck of Rochester Castle?

Looks like it to me

On the assumption that the old house round the corner from here is indeed the correct answer (bit awks if I'm wrong), then here one from the first run out on the current road bike a few moons ago. Unidentified harriers just out of shot.

Need a bit more than just the name of the river. City just around the corner acceptable answer...

Yup.

River Wye. Monmouth?

More to Chepstow end? Looks like sea horizon in distance.

Bluebottle · « **Reply #6695 on:** 03 January, 2017, 11:57:32 am »

The river flows in the other direction. Although the sea is over that horizon somewhere, it is much faster to get to the sea if you head left, as it were.

I'm wondering whether it's Newport on the Usk.

Bluebottle · « **Reply #6697 on:** 03 January, 2017, 01:51:08 pm »

There is a Newport nearby, but it is not on the Usk.

Steph · « **Reply #6698 on:** 03 January, 2017, 02:19:39 pm »

Not the Tamar and Launceston?

Bluebottle · « **Reply #6699 on:** 03 January, 2017, 02:22:19 pm »

This is all very southern. A little too southern. Photo taken not far a folly that was built to make the river look more Rhine-like.
