Viney Hill, Westbury on Severn, Chaxhill (I think that's allowed for X! Hope so, I'm going to be relying on that rule for Z as well!)

Much the most suitable I seems to be Ireland in Bedfordshire, which would require a different sort of adventure to anything I've been able to do lately. Alternatively there's a little place called Iron Cross, north of Evesham which does have signs and which I can get to much more easily. It's a namesake after a fashion.

But I can only see one J - Jersey Marine, near Swansea. I'm expect the locals call it simply "Jersey". This is going to take a while.
Chromatic (based near Gloucester) did an I that might be nearer to home.
There's a Joy's Green in the Forest of Dean (and I think I found a village sign for it on Google Streetview). I ducked out of that at the time as the distance and hilliness would have been too much for me. As I only have Y (8 miles from home) and Z (I'm going to claim Ozleworth, again not far from home), I might try and bag J as well for a full house, and only cheats on X (Chaxhill) and Z.

Yes I did and it's much nearer to home for @Aravis as I see he's from Gloucester. The I I went to is just a suburb on the outskirts of Gloucester now rather than a place on its own anymore so he won't have to go too far at all.

As you may have seen I'm up to J now and Joy's Green was going to be my J. I will confess now that when I do it then I will probably cheat and make it part of a park and ride visit, there's a hi-fi/record shop in Cinderford that I want to go to and I was going to take my bike in the car when I visit there and hop on the bike and ride to Joy's Green on the same day.
I've got a similar cheat in mind for X as you , not even thought about Z yet though.
