h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hmmm. Not sure if this will sink or swim, but it's a bit different and a nice change in these harsh times.

It's not really a game, but never mind.

You have to name a strangely specific place and other researchers say if they've been there and what their experiences were there.

To start off:

The bench on the top of Primrose Hill.

that would be no.

Linlithgow Palace loch anyone?

No the Torr at the top of Skafell pike. (spelt rong...)

No and no.

Brixton Windmill?

no, no and *Yes* to scafell pike...although we were supposed to be walking *around* it and ended up at the top (my dad had the map). can't remember what we did there to be honest, probably had some sandwiches and caught our breath

I've done Scafell pike too! Good old DofE eh? It was actually one of the more enjoyable DofE climing bits that we did. We beat the boys to the top and down again.

Hmm. Arthurs Seat Edinburgh?

I did it as DoE as well I loved DoE No, (in regard of the last place).

The park bench, (any of them), at one of the four sides of the statue in Kensington Park Lowestoft.

The McDonalds branch in the Miraflores area of Lima, Peru.

strangely enough... No...

Ness Point, the most easterly point in teh UK, in Lowestoft

The heating lamp-type column near the information office at Lille train station, France.

Nope

The closed coal mine in Wakefield, just at the back of the housing estate, by the totally vandelised garages.

The escalators going down to the basement section of Tesco Metyro in central Manchester.

The cellar under the "Satrosphere" building in Aberdeen, where they store the obsolete scientific exhibits...?

"The heating lamp-type column near the information office at Lille train station, France."

Yup balanced our bags here before heading home

"The heating lamp-type column near the information office at Lille train station, France"

Which one there's around three or four of them... and I've spent quite a bit of time hanging around them coz Lille is always freezing cold, it's always raining and they're the only heating in the station.

Here's a new one... The souvenir shop at North Cape in Norway?

The two rocks forming a bridge over Dungeon Ghyll, Langdale.

H.

As I remember it, there was one of them in particular that formed approximately a right-angle between the information office and the stairs down to the platform from which I caught the train to Brittany

Oh, in that case we've not been seen hanging around the same lamp-post just yet (At least not in this case!)...

Looks like no-one else has purchased a cuddly polar bear from North Cape though

The statue of the old judge in Tindal Square, Chelmsford, Essex.

Been to the Satrosphere Peet - but never made it as far as the cellars.

The top of Lochnagar.
