I thought I'd branch out and go for one that wasn't visible on google maps for a change - I hope that doesn't make it too much of an uphill struggle.

Any visitors who weren't present when the previous tag was taken and who don't mysteriously swap their wheels between tags are welcome!
The first sentence is from this, but I changed the location and mode of transport!

Old: Branch Hill, some nice buildings and stairs that I'm sure someone can tell us more about.
I have to admit the no streetview thing did give me trouble, I don't really know how to find things in the real world and wandered around for quite a while. Also have to apologise if anyone living there found their Sunday morning disturbed and looked outside to see a guy on a pink road bike bunny hopping speed bumps. #csb

Just need the tag to be brought to LMNH for around 4pm for a mass tag again like last year.

^I'd actually forgotten about that but it must be the reason I started thinking about cat statues.

I'm a bit envious of nocar's pink Cannondale myself... but his is resprayed whereas mine's been pink since the 80s (and since before I was born).

lemonade do you live there? my late father did!Well somebody got it pretty quickly in the end! Such is the power of bike tag. No I don't live there, I found out about it because the father of somebody I know has just moved there. I'm jealous, it's an amazing place.

http://www.insidehousing.co.uk/the-great-estate/6511577.articleI don't know much about the place, but it's a beautiful and really well thought out housing estate, away from traffic and surrounded by trees, it is the most amazing place. Immediately above it is a fantastic old mansion that is used as a council care home. The estate and care home together remind us of a time when local government took real pride in how they looked after vulnerable people.

New: It's Taggy Cat today:
Isn't this a re-tag?
Well, we've certainly had a cat statue before, although I can't remember if it was this one.

Nick, I still require a picture-by-picture breakdown of your picture clue, because I still don't get it. :)

Old: Highgate Hill and Dick Whittington's cat.
New!
Disclaimer: There has been a previous tag near to this, but as the subjects involved are quite different I thought it was ok.

Pretty sure I know where this is but can't play as I've lost the feckin charger for my camera battery!

• #8868
Mass tag never happened, nobody could be bothered to go to highgate hill to get it, shame.

Ha ha, I rode past this spot earlier today, but only now seen this thread! Damn :)

Old: I am guessing it is the deer enclosure in Clissold Park. They were all hiding tonight
New: bringing the game home.

i remain astonished that people who don't live there know about the place. geographically it's so easy to miss and you find it hard to imagine how the space could exist in the surrounding area.
it was - and i believe remains - the most expensive council estate ever to be built (per capita). every other weekend you get architecture students touring the place.
each property's downstairs is the roof of the property below (apart from those at the top of the hill). when you are in the corridors it feels claustrophobic but once you get onto the roof gardens the view is incredible. behind you is the victorian mansion then at every other angle all you can see is the sky and trees pushing into it.unfortunately i had to sell the place when the old man died!

New: It's Taggy Cat today:
I've told you already but...I just love your bike's paint job, shinkuu. Bright, pink, sparkly gorgeousness.
Well I totally screwed things up with my interpretation of these pictures but Pistanator does work - for me at least...
