  • Sorry, genuinely misunderstood you there... but I got these awesome sausages instead!
    It's this.

  • Ta all; still don't quite understand the clues, but that's not uncommon for the game...

  • The clues were just damn confusing. Googlefu ftw!

  • I am disappointed you didn't leave a review :(

  • I only knew it because I've ridden there before.

  • Dicki's tag:

  • Or of the clues referenced a "mid land river"
    The River Trent runs through the Midlands.
    The obelisk is in the Trent Country Park.

  • I just did a google image search for "london obelisk".

    There are lots of images of Cleopatra's Needle on the first page of results but if you ignore them and scroll down a bit you find a very similar image (an obelisk flanked by trees) as the BToB one with "Trent Park" in the description.

    I found the location of the new tag in about 5 minutes using google maps and what's visible in the photo. No chance of me going to get it though - busy with work and then holiday.

  • https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trent_Park
    Technically it’s outside of the Malaysian red line. - Middlesex Uni campus was owned by a Malaysian institution before being acquired for redevelopment

    However in the vicinity you will find references to King Arthur

    • Camlet Moat is also known as Camelot

    Nightingales

    • Middlesex Uni campus acquired by Berkeley Homes. The song famously references nightingales singing in Berkeley Square

    and WW2 German pilots.

    • Trent park used to house German prisoners during the war

    Look up (go north) and seek out the mid land river
    Midland river = River Trent

    Perhaps my brain just works in funny ways; but I thought with some cryptic clues and Google then you may be able to narrow down the location of the anonymous obilisk

  • I know this tag.
    It is some considerable distance from Londres Sud

  • Thanks! I'm mostly a general knowledge rather than a cryptic crossword man - I'd got as far as Berkeley Square with the nightingale clue, but no further. As with all the best clues, once they're explained they all make perfect sense...

    (Edit: I think I've worked out where the new tag is, but it's a bit far for me from the actual Midlands...)

  • I found the location of the new tag in about 5 minutes using google maps and what's visible in the photo.

    Your Zoom...Enhance tool works a shed load better than mine!

    Cha-ching!

  • Needs a Maurice Jarre soundtrack.

  • Old tag: Pole hill obelisk, Chingford
    A bit of a trek to get to. But some lovely pillars, cracking view, with a story about Lawrence too.

    New tag: Closer to canine aqua urbania

  • [Predicts that new will go quickly]
    ;-)

  • Probably quicker than it'll take for me to get home from the old tag!

  • tagzumped twice ?

  • Ha!
    Rep, if I could, for going the distance.

  • Old: Thames Path, just south of Westferry Circus

  • New: great coal supplier of the 19th century turned into luxury flats

  • Amazed that's not a re-tag. Good stuff.

  • I heard there was a map

  • Old tag. Limehouse basin
    (Surely this has been tagged before?)

    New tag. Tall regalia
