Sorry I went to bed after posting and forgot to point the place…
Carson Valley Nevada ?
Ahh…I checked this out when I was trying unsuccessfully to find a recent Wombat clue. It’s Plain City, near Ogden looking North to Willard Bay Reservoir, just North of Salt Lake City, UT.
In Asia I am, vast, humid and green. Beautiful forest does my local name mean.
Is my clue Mekong sense ? It shouldn’t really. Look further afield to see me clearly.
I got one… I got one!?!
It’s the Sundarbans Delta national park in the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh.
Maybe overlooking Hiron Point but frankly it all looks the same there!! Is that close enough?
That was mighty quick ! Yes it is in the Sundarbans Delta - well done ! I think we should see the photo match BA ?, otherwise it’ll set a precedent of uncertainty whether to call an answer correct going forward.
Whether the guesser is ‘close enough’ is pretty subjective. I’ll go with majority views though - it’s all just for fun. If you were running to catch a plane and couldn’t get to your computer I’d probably give it to you…but generally yeah…a match should be a match I reckon ?
I should have added, the location is not in Bangladesh but on the Indian part of the Sundarbans (just)
Not exactly. I’m in bed on my phone and was only using Google maps and some clue sleuthing.
I reckon it’s about here though
OK BA - it’s yours that’s close enough (about 30kms). Looking forward to seeing your next clue. Cheers !
I’m off to sleep now but will post something in the morning
You’ll have to make do without a fancy-worded rhyming riddle unless some miraculous lyrical-word-fairy visits me in the night
Maybe GPT it?
On a patch where metal roars, a training ground with might,
Mud and hills where they hone their skills, it’s truly a formidable sight.
In stark contrast, a silent place where gliders take flight,
Whispers of freedom and adventure, where REAL pilots unite!
That would be Bovington tank training area, Dorset UK
(..and the Doset gliding club is next door !)
Gosh - you answered it quicker than it took me to write the thing! Well done, your turn!!
Thanks…a bit of local knowledge
…Open house as I am at work!
Go on @Baracus250 … it’s your thread after all !
… or we take some rest until @DGJ622 gets out of work
I can’t get on my Sim PC until tomorrow now, and don’t think I have anything suitable on other disks – so let’s wait for DG!
Will be a few hours until I can …so if anyone has one go for it …
No rush, we can wait a few hours!
