Guess the Place

[John Walker]

Good detective skills by you two.

The sharp bends in the road often go with marshy terrain.

Then I thought about where an old work colleague and friend, later to become a supplier rep, used to live out on the Marsh. Lots of bends and the clue about a funny name, where did Colin live… Donkey Street!

Next one soon.

I looked at the spot heights along the road (10', 9', 10', 9', 8', 9', 8', 8'), the spot height in the field right on the left (9') and the benchmark on Eaton Farm (10.4', but possibly up a wall).  the area was therefore flat and very low lying.  North Kent generally has a gentle slope to the north, so my guess was Romney Marsh.

Well done John.

Yes, to Romney Marshes MartinR

Donkey Street - spot on John Filmer.

Wil be interested to learn how you both homed in on it so quick.

Over to you John Filmer

[johnfilmer]

Next GTP

I thought I still had an image ready but it turns out it was the one I just used.   So,  pinching JohnFilmer's idea.

Where is this?  The road and field boundaries are still very similar today. 

A place with an unusual name.   Other clues to follow if nobody gets it straight away.

If I've got the right place, the location is:

• Nat Grid:            TR 37582 54334
• Nearest Post Code:   CT14 6QU
• Co-ords (WGS84):     51°14'19"N,001°24'08"E or 51.2386857,1.4022532

Judging from the shadows it must have been very late morning!

Thanks Jackie Paper

The beach at Deal has got to be one of the steepest around.

I remember a family trip to Deal as a seaside treat.  My visions of paddling were soon dashed when we saw how quickly the sea got deep.  Fortunately, a trip to the Rotunda amusement park soon made up for the disappointment.

Next one up soon.

[Jackie Paper]

John Walker is correct.
Sandown Castle outlook point, Deal. There had been some big seas the previous night and the beach was piled up. Not sure how that lone camper in his tent enjoyed his night.

[DaveTheTrain]

I think its Lydd, just trying to place it accurately.

[John Walker]

I'm thinking it's taken by the remains of Sandown Castle at the Thanet end of Deal?

[MartinR]

More seriously, Isle of Thanet?

[MartinR]

Cape Wrath?

You’d pass here if you sailed from Whitstable to Dungeness…
