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 you’re searching for a festive place in a town where The Beatles have played and Sherlock Holmes has carried out an investigation. The town’s Wikipedia page features photographs of an observatory and a British Booker Prize-winning novelist. The novel that secured the novelist his Booker Prize was published by Jonathan Cape. Less than two kilometres from ‘an Arab or Muslim warrior, particularly at the time of the Crusades’, I’m a ten minute stroll from a skate park, and a fifteen minute walk from a lido. The closest petrol station to my location is a Shell. If I wished to crow fly to the closest fishing tackle shop, I’d need to flap ESE.
You are probably in the right place if you can see…
- An open drawer
- An otter
- Teddy bears
- Mountain bikes
- A blue office chair
- A blue Mini Cooper
- A blue Ford Escape
- A blue Toyota Prius
- A blue Skoda Fabia
- Blue wheelie bins
- The words ‘HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE’
(Last week I was here)
An otter ahoy! Twenty minutes or so to solve this week while being interrupted by the family even though I told them I was doing Very Important Work.
