Every Friday at 1300 hours, Tally-Ho Corner’s cleverest clogs come together to solve a ‘foxer’ handcrafted by my sadistic chum and colleague, Roman. A complete ‘defoxing’ sometimes takes several days and usually involves the little grey cells of many readers. Don’t be shy. All are welcome to participate.
To fully defox the following geofoxer, identify all twelve locations plus the theme that links them.

I’ve not worked out the connection to Martin yet, though.
D’oh – the address of the Naval Museum is Martin St.
That was pretty quick, but not the record breaker I thought it might be 5 minutes in! 😀
