Quiz Answers

1) Peterill, Eden and Caldew 2) J45 (Gretna) 3) Barrow in Furness (South America is a sandbank, St Helena and Falkland are nearby rocks) 4) Millican Dalton, Professor of Adventure 5) 33 (I would have accepted 32 since only 32 are actually in Cumbria: Silverdale isn’t) 6) 8: , , High Street, Black Coombe, , (S of Brampton), Rottington (St Bees Head) and Whitelyne Common (N of Bewcastle) 7) Arthur Ransome 8) Derwent Water 9) Records are often a problem. There are two: 134 mph on Great Dun Fell in 1968 (an official site at the time), but 101 mph is often given (St Bees Head in 2005 and Sellafield in 1984). Both were accepted. 10) The Cheviot, (815 m) (a remarkable number of people put Cross Fell) 11) Allen Crags and Yoke (Steve B got it wrong too) 12) Fox Hunting 13) Skiddaw (a point was given to the person who put CFR for entering into the light hearted spirit of the event) 14) I believed people whether they said that they did or didn’t know John Peel. He lived at Ruthwaite (between and Uldale) 15) They are all the termini of the roads A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, and A6 16) West Cumbria (anagram of Bacterium SW) 17) Brief Encounter 18) Caldbeck Fells 19) Deaths in Hamlet (Great respect – but no extra points -to the person who named them all) 20) A bacon sandwich 21) Pineau de Re or Downies (the obligatory sport question) 22) Almost anything with the word Barrow in it would have done. Barrow is the nearest Wainwright to the Village Hall and the Hoad monument above Ulverston is to Sir John Barrow who was responsible for the Franklin expedition to the NW passage (everyone died), as well as the official enquiry and best-selling book about the Mutiny on the Bounty. 23) Philae which landed on a comet in November. The original Philae is a stone obelisk which was removed from its original location in Egypt and put in the grounds of a National trust property in Kingston Lacy (Dorset) by someone who thought that it looked better there. 24) Nigel Farage (both were names of his memoirs) 25) Damien Lewis 26) Emmet (The Lego Movie) 27) Bill Teasdale – ‘King of the Fells’ (1950’s and 1960’s) 28) Jermain Jackman (won The Voice 2014 it appears) (the obligatory popular culture question) 29) Alastair Thomas – the next King of the Fells? A LOT of people put Prince George, who is coincidentally the next (but two) King. 30) Samuel Taylor Coleridge
