Off the top of my head I'd guess it might be somewhere in the Torrs, but there's an awful lot of stuff down there to sift through

It’s not on your town or any town really.

I'll pass on that one then and concentrate on No2, tomorrow.

I was hoping someone might have hit this one.   If you’ve been there I think it would be easy.   It’s also in satellite view.

Right.  I've figured it out now and have the answer.  I was thinking about bus-stops and that led me astray.  There's no bus route within quite a distance of this spot

Id been holding off posting that video but the deadline is 5pm today so had to pull the trigger on it.    Was it just that id been there that gave you the clue or did you see it in the video.

From the outset, I began thinking of possible places near there, as until then I wasn't aware you'd been to Winnats. That's when the penny dropped. I looked at another one nearby, but discounted it in favour of the correct one. Then when you actually flew over it towards the end, that confirmed it for me

A little bit after I took that shot,  they opened and put out signs and the like on the pavement.   Which I thought would have really given it away.


Did you spot me on the hill?

Many years ago, with some French friends who were visiting us - so it must have been more than 18 years ago.  Did you know that, once you have descended all the steps, you go through the caves in a boat?

Yes,  I saw the advertising for it.  It looked worth a look if we hadnt been on the route home.   

I hadnt planned to stop anywhere when left Colne,,  but as we were pulling away from the AirBnB SWMBOd asked where we were going.   A quick look at the map and Winnats jumped out at me,  and the other stops in your neck of the woods were based on seeing some signs on route.    SWMBOd did suggest Crosby for the iron men,  which I would have liked but I felt it was in the wrong direction for getting home.

Cutting across to Crosby would have put a serious dent in your time-table. Getting back on track from there can be a nightmare for traffic - even at weekends.

Yes it was a wise decision. It can be an overcoat colder up there than on the south coast.

I've now confirmed your guess where No2.  It is where I thought it was - near the end of Spring Gardens in Buxton.  Last time we passed, there were builders vans, skips and scaffolding surrounding it.  Today, that's all gone.
