    Gotta be somewhere in the triangle formed by the R158 and R160 - Dogstown parish - just south of Trim.

    Damned if I can find it though :(

    Should we be congratulating spookwoman for guessing their own location correctly? I'm confused! Where am I? What's that thing there? Are those my feet!?

    Genuine LOL! You'd do well over in AH, Niley. One day - and I'm sure it'll be soon - there'll be an AH OP entitled, "When was the last time you really looked at your own nipples?"

    Anyway, by my questionable estimation, kilboor, you're up :)

    Bump. Standby.

    Chrome on Android. If my last post is the first post of a new page, I need to log out to see it. I should probably report this.

    Lassy (next post), it's more irritating when it's the other way round. If I'm the last post on a page, I cannot see a lone post on the new page unless I log out first :(

    With reference to section (A), subsection 6.0 of the sacred First Post, I now invoke Section (A) subsections 1.0, 2.0 and 9.0, without prejudice.

    I used to enjoy popping into this thread and hoping I might know the current picture from memory but that aspect seems to be gone now.

    But seriously, I know what you mean. It's difficult to find a balance between posting some place that takes some guessing or is recognizable in some fashion, and finding some place that doesn't have so many pictures of it online that it's just a case of the first person to do a reverse image search on the posted location wins.

    Well said, Niley. This point applies equally to this thread and the int'l one. However, there’s nothing better than that sweet spot when there're just enough clues to get going with the google machine.

    Tbh, I'm genuinely delighted when someone else tracks down something I've spent ages on. And doubly delighted when that guess includes some arcane bit of related trivia.
