Using the following clues (the map above is purely decorative) in combination with Street View, work out my location.
Although Roman, THC’s chief puzzlewright, 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 I’m in a town that has a smaller population than Monaco. The town’s name begins and ends with a vowel, and appears on maps of South Africa’s second largest and Canada’s fifth largest city. Closer to a closed railway station than an open one, I’m about 415 metres from a sizeable curved weir, and 340 metres from an al fresco 84mm field gun. The street you are searching for shares a name with a swanky London hotel and a ship torpedoed in the Spring of 1917. The country you are after won six times as many medals at the 1988 Paralympic Games as it did at the 2020 Paralympic Games.
You are probably in the right place if you can see…
- The outline of Africa
- Washboard abs
- Synthetic pansies
- A silver Toyota Landcruiser
- Two cats
- Nike shorts
- A green pillar box
- The word ‘Bavaria’
- The words ‘VIVALDI’ and ‘MOZART’
- A furry trip hazard who, understandably, prefers to sleep inside when the weather is wet
(Last week I was here)
Furry trip hazard spotted! Took me far too long to realise I was looking at the participant and not the medal table!
A green pillar box ahoy! Fastest ever defoxing for me by a fair margin, under 10 minutes I reckon.
Vivaldi and Mozart, ahoy! That was quickish and fun.
