Is there such a place as Teletubby Cavern ?

JasonC · « **Reply #4801 on:** December 04, 2020, 01:01:42 pm »

Not as far as I know, though there definitely should be!

Still, you're half right....

By way of something completely different....

"Eh ho - beware of sailors!" (9,6)

By "something completely different", I meant it's not in the Dales. If that helps.

Is it in Britain then ?

Is there such a place as Collette's Cavern?

JasonC · « **Reply #4805 on:** December 05, 2020, 09:45:50 pm »

Trogger - yes, a well-known cave

Roger - don't think so, it's not the answer anyway. Not sure I follow your thinking....

Googling "Eh ho" gave:

ah.... you need to think more symbolically

Trogger · « **Reply #4808 on:** December 06, 2020, 11:14:21 am »

You mean 'A' and 'O' ? Still can't think of any such cavern...

a pointer? Chemical symbols?

E and h2o ?

Well, there's no element signified by Eh (while holmium is Ho).

So Eastwater Cavern then?

JasonC · « **Reply #4813 on:** December 10, 2020, 04:41:05 pm »

Yes

At last! I almost had to spell it out, with a 'point'er being E(ast)
Still, I suppose it is a little-known cave in an obscure region...

All yours, Andy

I stood on the soldiers of giants though! ANway, try this...

"Small Yorkshire port starts pissing off tourists." ( 6,4,3 )

Trogger · « **Reply #4815 on:** December 10, 2020, 07:25:35 pm »

Little Hull Pot perhaps ?

Spot on Trogger - your go.....

In brief, if you're feeling a bit peckish you could end up with one of these... (5,4,7)

Trogger · « **Reply #4818 on:** December 12, 2020, 10:19:45 am »

Sorry, rubbish clue, so here's another:

"Amazing place, but initially if you're feeling peckish you may prefer this." (5,4,7)

Trogger · « **Reply #4819 on:** December 19, 2020, 04:28:00 pm »

Still a deafening silence out there after a week - thought it would be easy too. So here's a modified clue:

"A-maze-ing place, up N, but initially if you're feeling peckish you may prefer this." (5,4,7)

Roger W · « **Reply #4820 on:** December 19, 2020, 04:57:34 pm »

Knock Fell Caverns are amazeing if you fancy looking for nuggets.

Trogger · « **Reply #4821 on:** December 19, 2020, 06:31:47 pm »

Or a KFC even! All your Roger W

Roger W · « **Reply #4822 on:** December 19, 2020, 07:56:06 pm »

Had to think really hard about that one - the a-maze- ing bit gave me the idea, and then the initially bit made sense.

Anyway, here's where Aiwendil acquired Nwosih. (9, 7).

Roger W · « **Reply #4823 on:** December 24, 2020, 07:03:28 pm »

Time for a clue? Identify that character (Google?) and a Yorkshire caver should be able to work out the second bit.
