    Need more clues on the other ones. I mean the N52 goes all the way from Mullingar to Dundalk - might be easier hangman style
    The N52 links Dundalk and Nenagh, actually. Of course, since this is the Meath Picture Game, only the part which passes through Meath is of interest to us. :)

    Another clue for mine is that it's not a church, but a hall. A further clue is that, location-wise, it's not very far off the N52 sector between the Louth border and Carlanstown.

    I think there was some Orange Lodge up that way?

    yeah, i think it's 1-0 to Europerson - go on put us out of our misery, or at least PM me the answer if you don't want to tell the world just yet.

    All right so. :)

    It's the Church of Ireland Hall in Syddan (the Church of Ireland name for what's approximately the Roman Catholic parish of Lobinstown). It was built in 1924, but it's disused now. It's notable for its pretty traceried cast-iron windows.

    Is that St Ciarán's Well near Carnaross? It looks like it might be.

    bitemybanger's image is still outstanding: I can't figure it out at all!

    I did enlarge it, but it has so few pixels, it just turns into fuzziness! A clue might help... :)

    St-Ciarans well it is. The aul biddy spitting into it gave it away.
    For extra points, do you know what it's meant to cure?

    Warts, I think.

    Is bitemybanger's part of Our Lady's Hospital in Navan?

    Sorry no, it has many healing properties, but warts isn't one.

    "Different areas of the well have different curative powers. Drinking the water, as above, is said to heal ailments of the throat. Lower down the stream, the water is said to cure problems with the feet and ankles. Elsewhere there is a stream for healing backs."

    It's a good job, it isn't the other wayaround or you'd be drinking water people had put their feet in. The water though is gorgeous (and cold) as it comes from a spring.

    And I have been going to that hospital every day for the past 7 months. I should really pay more attention to the world around me.:o

    Could that be Saint Olivers in Navan?

    (I know I'll get one right eventually!)

    I'm afraid not. You're a long way off there! :)

    Clue: It's not far from the coast.

    Julianstown church?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 686 ✭✭✭mickrourke


    Time for a new rule I think. If no-one gets it within 2 days a clue must be given. and another clue every day after that

    Anyone agree?

    No, all church buildings in Julianstown (there are three) look very different to this. :)

    I'm not sure about this. You have to take account of people not necessarily being on Boards every day. Also, there are times in the Dublin Picture Game, for example, where people are really close to the right answer, and the best way is for them to keep getting it slightly wrong until the right answer is found. It would be very difficult to provide 'fair' clues in a case such as that. I think common sense is the best policy. However, I'm willing to go along with any plurality to the contrary. :D

    How about if someone calls for a clue if no-one has gotten it right in a few days, then its at the discretion of the photo-putter-upper to give one? But if a week passes with no correct answers, then a clue has to be given? That gives people a bit of time if they dont log on too often.

    Good thread! Can I throw up an easy one?

    As I said, I'll go with anything.

    I don't know if any are outstanding and I apologize if there are, but I've been dying to post this picture for ages. Has anyone ever seen a hedge like this?

    If you dont mind, I'll leave it open for a few days so others can take a guess. I have never seen such a well endowed piece of shrubbery though!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 686 ✭✭✭mickrourke


    Somebodys got a lot of time on their hands, or very lonely, or both.
    I think the man is meant to be Brush Shiels (geddit) and the woman is obviously Dolly Parton ;)

    A few days have passed and i'm still none the wiser Archie, could i have a clue please? Like hangman, so something like this:

    NAV_N

    And i might have a chance of getting it ;)

    Ok. With no connection at all to your example, (ahem) its in N_van. :)

    If anyone else has pics they'd like us all to ponder, please post away.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,909 ✭✭✭europerson


    I have no idea where in Navan the bush thing is!

    However, I'll take any opportunity to post some. I've posted a few at a time over on the Louth equivalent of this game, so here's a set of four for you. Hope you don't mind. At least this way, people have a better chance of getting one, and people who have no photos can take part without feeling as 'guilty'. These aren't going to be too easy, I hope!
