Downham.

There are no boundary signs for this village, so here’s my bike in front of the only place that bears the village name.

is it against the flimsy rules to bag say hn&r and park them while you're still bagging f?

E is on the cards this afternoon. It is nowhere near F,G etc. so it likely to be a single letter grab on today's outing. Quite enjoying this as it is causing me to join the villages together in different ways to normal. Will get stuck at J till I can travel further afield. Hopefully grab that one during a diversion from a planned ride in March.

I’ve been looking ahead, and J looks to be a problem for me. I’ve yet to find anywhere in Lancashire or West Yorkshire starting with J.

Northumberland might be your closest. I am eyeing up one in Leicestershire. We have a Q down this way but Z might be another trip to Leicestershire else Cornwall. Y is in Cambridgeshire haven't looked for any X yet.

I'm out before I've started. 4 byes would be needed. After poring over local maps and finally resorting to Wikipedia (link to place names in Northamptionshire) I can't find anywhere beginning with J, V, X or Z.

Don't believe everything on Wiki - I've just done a similar search for place names starting with 'D' in Yorkshire, as the only "local" one I can think of (Dunkeswick) is a bit of a pain to get to and will probably require a specific ride there to bag it before I can move on.
The list on Wiki doesn't even mention it, or either of the two nearest 'E's either!
