Wezzit with a twist quiz

Definitely never been to Bakers Pit, perhaps I should?

Not been to 5 either, but it's a very distinctive bit of coastline, so the only option is Ogof Gofan

Got 18 out of 20 now.  :)  Still stuck on 15 and 16.

Got the last few by thinking 'That looks like a certain area of the peak', 'That looks a bit Scotlandish', 'That's on the coast. What well known caves do I know that are by the sea?'

15 looks a bit Mendipy or Forest of Deanish, to me. 16 not got a clue.

I haven't got anywhere in N. Ireland so maybe they are there?

Likewise, no clue for 15.

16 is in the Dales if that helps. I ended up going the wrong way in the dark and the fog after a trip their once. Definitely lacking in features during those conditions... Fortunately I was able to retrace my steps based on the wind direction and got my bearings sorted once back at the shake hole.

Cheers Pete. Did wonder about the Dales for 16, had a couple of ideas so will check it out now.

Got 15 now. Not Northern Ireland but North ......!

Got 16 now.  (y)  So that's all of them.

Haven't got lost there but did once come across some interesting rigging from a group of teenagers who were in front of us. On the second pitch (I think it was), their rope was tied into the first P hanger, then threaded through each one out to the pitch head, through one of the Y hang anchors, across to and through the opposite one and then down the pitch! I know it's not the done thing to mess with another groups rigging but we did re-rig that one!

Eye know number 7. Make sure you can swim or you might go glugy glugy in the deep water.

Enjoyed it and the other one, but rather too few from the Peak and Pennines for me to get on this one  ;)

I hadn?t noticed that the answers had been put up!

Cheers Tim, I really enjoyed that. I got them all so that probably means I spend far too much time looming at maps and aerial photos!! 😂

If you're happy to do another quiz, that'll be great!
