Using the following clues (the map above is purely decorative) in combination with Street View, MapFrappe and other tools, 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’ll find me in an EU country that borders two other EU countries. The closest foreign country has a photo of a vulture on its Wikipedia page. The nearest border checkpoint is about 8 miles WSW of my location. I’m on the edge of a village that boasts several small, picturesque watermills. The village is in a county that has, amongst other things, a weapon and an insect on its coat of arms. Equilongitudinous with the site of a vertiginous WWI battle in which thousands of soldiers perished, I’m within eight miles of two different national parks.
You’re probably in the right place if you can see…
- The number ‘1965’
- A dozing dog
- A wheeled generator
- Blue shutters
- The word ‘SALVAMONT’
- The word ‘BURGER’
- A white Dacia 1310 estate
- No people
- No tarmac
I’m not in Pont-à-Mousson.
(Last week I was here)
No tarmac ahoy! A hiccup this week when I read county as country and overall it took about an hour or so. No real drama, but leaving a comment as I hate it when this section looks empty like no-one cares.
I have a noob question: I’ve seen multiple comments of the form “[a clue] ahoy!” like yours. Does it have a specific meaning?
Under 10 minutes to get within 17 miles, half an hour confidently looking at the obvious but incorrect place while ignoring a critical clue.
“half an hour confidently looking at the obvious but incorrect place while ignoring a critical clue.” – my speciality.
