ABC Towns and Villages

[Supersuperleeds]

Second word variant:

Previously done:
Broughton Astley
Dunton Bassett
Clay Coton
Clifton upon Dunsmore
Sutton in the Elms


Today's Ride:
Aston Flamville
Stoke Golding
Higham on the Hill

Closet "I" I can find is Long Itchington which is 31 miles away, the good thing is I can get Marston Jabbett on the way back. I've identified every letter bar Q and X, apart from Y they are all pretty local to me

You and your posh doubled barrelled village names. I think most of us are too chilled to be bothered about first or second word variants. Part of the original challenge got me doing routes I wouldn’t have normally done to collect the village letters. It’s all good.

With X normally being the second letter how about Great Oxenden ? Can't help with Q

I meant for @Supersuperleeds second word variant . Q wasn't a problem for us Leicester residents as we also have Quorn

Needs to be the second word ( I think I used that for my first word variant)

I started doing second word version which has so far as reached the N and then halted, due to an injured ankle. That was a result of ending up facing backwards on all fours when dismounting from my ebike I caught my rucksack on top of the pannier rack with the ebike ending up on my back. In one sense it was fortunate as I could not think of an O and would have skipped it when it in fact it later became flipping obvious where an O was. Maybe in the near future the road bike might turn wheel in anger for the first time since April as although I have been using the ebike I am not sure it has the range needed even if the assist is only used on uphill sections.
Done so far Barkston Ash, Dacre Banks, Norton Conyers, High Ellington, Monk Fryston, Branton Green, Green Hammerton, Foss Island, Purston Jaglin, East Keswick, Low Laithe, Nun Monkton and Temple Newsam; photos in the Your Ride today thread between 22 Jan and mid April.
There's another challenge amongst those, do a second word place and then the same word as a first word.

Sorted, choice of two

That'll be mine too if I get that far. The sign between the two villages has both names on opposite sides, so you really do have a choice.

I've temporarily forgotten what my Y can be. I think it's somewhere near Oxford. 👨‍🦳

I’ve got New York pencilled in, unless I find another one closer

Hopefully not the one in Nidderdale as it is pretty sign less, think there is a so named industrial park direction sign

No, this one is in Lincolnshire. Definitely has a sign.

Some more posh double-barrelled village names picked up yesterday afternoon.

The Lench Hills are a small range north of the Warwickshire Avon near Evesham. They're full of sharp little hills, pretty villages and nice views around every corner. The villages all follow a clear naming standard:

So that's L done. M and N were easily collected on the way home, but a road closure soon to be lifted means that O has to wait until next time.

 

[Aravis]

With roads open again, and plenty of others closed, second word O and P done this afternoon:
