You made it too easy with the Bantry estate agents notice. A shame that the cycle shop will go.

So we are in Bantry, Co. Cork.

Hehe, I thought it was intriguing that they sold Guinness and motorcycles, surely not the best combination!

Nobody seemed to be getting very close so I thought I'd give an easy clue to keep the thread moving!

Well done Audrey, but Kurt just pipped you! It must have been close.

Could it be this headstone, which looks much older than the one you showed?

Thomas Sivelle, Smuggler buried in Binesead, Isle of Wight.

That's the one, in Binstead. I took the snapshot only last week, so someone cleans it up.

All you that pafs pray look and fee
How foon my life was took from me
By those officers as you hear
They fpilled my Blood that was fo dear
But God is Good and juft and true
And will reward each to their due

There are a number of different accounts of his death, some claiming it was a mistake others that he was pursued by boat when he jettisoned many barrels during the chase.

Thanks Kurt.

I'd it the amphitheatre in Verona?

Re: Challenge - Where is this? III

Much too easy for you Kurt. I'll have to stretch you more next time.

Re: Challenge - Where is this? III

I remember seeing the amphitheatre a few years ago when I spent some time travelling around Europe. I wasn't sure whether it was the one in Verona or Arles but the background looked more "Verona-ish"! I will look out a shot later.

Ooo-er, I hope I know where this is. Taken some time ago with Nikon D70. I was with friends, heading through the rain to a bar, so more of a snap shot, but it has reminded me of the dust problems I used to suffer with the Nikon D70. . . . Pause.. . . OK, I just popped over to Google to make sure this is where I think it is, it is. Lots of other pictures of this place, many of them looking as though the building is falling over too! Its pretty big and you can't get very far away from it. And if you get near to it you risk getting wet and thats not only because of the damp climate here-abouts. That is enough clues to be going on with.

Come along pilgrims, you recognise this place. It is an important stop along your route.

Not York; it is not in the UK.
