Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Fantastic work Jelly 👏

I am still in the Vale of Glamorgan - in a black hole heading towards the Chemical and Plastic works!!! At least I won’t have light problems when I go to sleep later.

Just noticed I was passing Llangorse lake yesterday. Back in the 70s I used to go from school to sailing there, being deemed too wimpy to play rugby at Hereford.

Just a couple of years ago I went to the indoor climbing centre at Llangorse. That suggests I'm approaching places I'll recognise (I've mostly ignored the map and let this challenge run in the background of my training).

Oops, thanks. We used to be taken sailing by a guy called Bernie, inevitably Bernie the Boat. Anyone tell me what show that refers to?

Sounds like a possible nod to Bernie the Bolt from 60’s tv show The Golden Shot

I might have done a few extra miles here and there with one eye on the challenge but I’m not getting obsessed ;-)

Well done both! Never thought I'd be googling “Was Bob Monkhouse a psychopath”. Didn't get an answer.

That sounds like a question for the "Wrong answers only" thread Steve!

I remember a friend telling me a story about a visit he had from Frankie Howerd that involved some batenburg. I am sketchy on the details beyond that.
