Landmark Challenge UK

[Tallpaul]

I'm intending to do this in 2024. I had a look last year, but other commitments made it to much of a rush, so coloured thumbtacks, an A1 map of UK on order and clues to solve (easy) and away we go!

Sounds like a ruddy good idea

Just returned from East Anglia on our latest hunt for the above landmarks. It's over 30 years since we moved back to the Midlands and it was good to revisit some of the places we took the children on holidays. Another 7 points photographed and now running at 28/50, which puts us in silver medal position. Had a couple of nights in B&Bs and some great food. New tyres needed on the 900 before we head North East for another 6. Run out of green tacks now so another bag of mixed colours on order.

Just an update. Following our two weeks in Scotland in September, we now have all 50 landmarks photographed. I now have to sort through the best images and submit them to the organiser for assessment.

Shame I missed you in Ardgay (Croick). Was down that way in September.

A lovely ride along a lengthy no through road and back. Charming little church which was locked. A shame, as I wanted to visit the inside and check out the architecture.

A decent day earlier in the week and we decided to start on the 2025 challenge. We picked off our most local ones and only covered 50 miles, but had lunch out and enjoyed a sedate ride. 48 to go and planning to get 6 in nearby Wales on Monday/Tuesday next week.

All done. Prints are on their way back to me and I'm going to make my entry before the end of May. An excellent, dry ride to and around Scotland early May picked up 23 Landmarks. The final 7 were done last week across the South West. Thoroughly enjoyed this year's rides and looking forward to 2026 clues!
