ABC Towns and Villages

Not as easy as I thought. I went to two places for C and neither had a village sign. So just ended up with these two:

Yes my first B had no sign so I had to ride on to another. All good though as it is generating a few extra rides and routes to the usual.

Yes exacly I will get there in the end. However if the C had worked out I would have had D and E on the ride as well.

It would be rude not to at least to get A as I live there

This sign is less than 100 yards from home but I did cycle there via 16 miles

My I and J will be like that. In fact for J I think that will be the only letter I can collect on the ride to get it, as no K's near it. Yesterday's ride was 54km but just the letter E!

Boothstown, I couldn't find a sign so settled on the Post Office.
I'll have another look next time I drive through from the opposite direction.

I need to get to X before I go to Cornwall in August!

I have been racking my brain I sure I seen somewhere in Cornwall begining with X but can't think of it . Loads of z

That's what I mean... there will be Zennor when I get to Cornwall.

Plotted a circular route to J, it is 140km. Next Sunday is a window for that with an early start. So just need to get F,G, H, I during the week. So that is three rides to collect letters next week.

It is quite funny that some letters need trips to the same area but on separate rides as I need to get the other letters in between which happen to be elsewhere!

Good start. This is a nice little bit of fun is it not?

I have drawn a blank on X so far. If you find something let me know.

I have done a bit if research and from what I have seen online there is nowhere beginning with X and the usual convention in this sort of challenge is to use places begining with EX. I stand to be corrected. I have an EX about 50 miles away.

I may have been thinking about zennor and spelling it xennor . I have my eye on Zelah near Newquay but have a Z local Zouch near Loughborough

[QUOTE 5500935, member: 9609"]think China may be the closest

but I did find this oddity

Well that leads to two Chinese places beginning with X being twinned with UK towns. Cardiff is one and Edinburgh is another. So how about we allow those for X? No idea if the twinning appears on the signs.
