Using the following clues (the map above is purely decorative) in combination with Street View, work out my location.
Although THC’s chief puzzlewright, Roman, would be interested to know how long it takes you to solve this solo foxer, he’d rather you didn’t put spoilers or solutions in the comments.
Today you’ll find me around three miles from the centre of a tiny ‘capital city’. Said ‘capital city’ has a population of around 120 people. Five hundred metres from a spooky derelict school, I’m in a country that has never progressed beyond the group stage of a FIFA World Cup. It would take me around seven minutes to drive to the nearest motorway. The motorway in question has a double digit numerical identifier, the sum of the two digits being fourteen. If I wanted to crow-fly to the nearest castle I’d need to flap NWbN. That castle was built in the 14th Century, has recently reopened to the public after a long refurbishment, and has appeared in a TV series involving time travel.
You’re probably in the right place if you can see…
- A purse
- A car key
- An unopened packet of cigarettes
- The May 6, 2022 edition of the Daily Record
- A grit bin
- A slide
- A massive onshore windfarm
- More vehicles than people
- The word ‘HAIR’
- The words ‘HOT FILLED ROLLS’
I’m not in Pont-à-Mousson.
(Last week I was here)
HOT FILLED ROLLS ahoy! About 10 minutes this week. Still very fun.
Done. Liked the capital city clue!
Is “massive onshore windfarm” a reference to the fat bloke as I really can’t spot it, despite having located everything else.
(That’s unkind. It could also be a dig at the other adverts).
25 minutes, all told. Narrowing down to the region and then local area was quick (sub 10 minutes), but then Google Maps began denying the existence of this roadname+road type (ie. avenue, close, drive, road, street, etc)
