Scottish Fire and Rescue Service ...... so somewhere in Scotland!

For me, the "obvious clue" was The Central Bar - though it is surprising just how many of those there are.

Well done. The flood stopped 1 inch below the door of where we were staying. Power was out. Ended up in a flood rescue centre. We were lucky. The place We had tried to book was full and that got flooded out. Only just rescued my car from depths of that flood. Water over bonnet as I drove out and up hill.

I must stop answering these - I don't have much stock of images of places I have cycled. I'll try and find something later, though I'll be out at Morris practice for most of the evening.

I got as far as looking up where the SA number plate on the fire engine was registered (Glasgow) and thinking "Hmmm ... it's probably Scotland" when I noticed that it had already been solved.

That is Kingston Hill, rising from Kingston Blount, near Chinnor:

I don't know it, but it was quite easy to find with the strong hint that it's in the Chilterns. It looks like the main escarpment so it was just a case of scanning along the OS map until the road with the right orientation and the wooded hillside appeared.

I rode down it 6 years ago! that's why is was familiar/ not that familiar

I bet it isn't flooded in the streetview pictures

No wonder I don't solve many of these - I am so unobservant that I didn't even spot the flood waters, let alone the sign on the fire engine!

Wallpapering's going quite well. The main thing is that I've started.
Edit: the small humps...

Thought the edit was going to be a less positive update on your wallpapering exploits

 

[Alex321]

Ok, let's try this one.

 

[All uphill]

Mmm, that looks to me like Somerset.

The Blackdown hills?

 

[MontyVeda]

Looks like the road from Newton running into Kirkby Lonsdale, but i doubt it is.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

I think it is Pentyrch

It was indeed. A fairly big clue with the pub, even though you couldn't see whether it wa sthe Kings Arms, or the Kings Head or Kings something else
Your turn now.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Yes and I guessed at Kings Arms, and went from there. Found it at third in my list of what came up in my search.

My photo might not be till morning when I can access my wider collection toon of photos on PC.

Ah one suitable on iPad, let’s try this one.
