    It's now time to work out the clues Wardd and find out about the towers and the rest of the place yourself. But maybe Tiny has more leniency....

    I gave you a special clue so it should be easy for you to start from there :)

    Good Luck!

    It is in the mouth of an estuary* so it's very well possible that you didn't go in there while passing, but seeing our other conversations I think you've been close.

    ‘‘...is sure the British Island...’’ but which country..?

    * It's a special kind of estuary that also has another name because of the genesis of it. To say how it's called would make it to easy as this one is high on the lists of such things.

    Good Luck!

    What is ‘‘near’’..? Name the place please. You're the one searching not me :p

    You was on a airport*, go ± 230 NM south from there and you're on the spot.

    * I think it was an airport as the place you were has one and you were there only for 45 min.

    Good Luck!

    County right! - Country right! - Screenshot right!

    But the place has a name within the county, the building has a name, the towers have a name and function....

    Please name them, only going 230 NM south, from the special clue I gave you, to an estuary mouth I gave, is to easy :)

    That's what it is, but what is the name of the place..?

    No approach lights to an airfield.

    Good Luck!

    Yes, but you don't :p

    To name the place is the nature of this game :p

    Come on Wardd, you can find it on Google Earth, name the place :)

    Good Luck!!

    For interest, here are some of the many notes from the leisure users map of the body of water in front of the building:


    CAUTION: This is an area of high incidence of close quarters
    situations between craft of less than 20 metres in length, and vessels
    which can only safely navigate within the fairway. Recreational craft
    should navigate with extreme caution in these areas and should
    monitor VHF channel 12 at all times

    No Aquabatics in the main Navigation
    Channel, in dead slow minimum wake areas,
    water-ski zones, in teaching areas, near moorings,
    marina entrances, any launch site or slipways,
    other moored craft or pontoons

    navigable
    only with great care and local knowledge

    To request barrage opening,
    ring County Hall xxxx xxxxxx
    Operating times
    07:00-19:00 weekdays
    09:00 - 12:00 Saturdays
    Please request in advance

    Note: Tugwash may be experienced in the entrance and in the West channel.

    Lifeguards June – August Blue Flag Award

    Approximate Ferry Times

    In the interest of safety of all Waterway users, to maintain balance and reduce conflict, it is clear that various practices of years gone by may no longer be appropriate

    Controlled and exclusion zones are in force around some commercial
    vessels whilst in the waterway. See over.

    Vessel travelling at speed can panic wildlife and large wake can swamp wildlife

    It was already on the thread that that's not right. It shows you don't know about the place, only followed my exact directions on Google Earth but can't name the place.

    I see your problem, Google Earth and Google Maps don't name the place, that's rare but such a rare ocasion should be considerd as an extra atraction of this game and is certainly no reason to give up on this nice teaser.

    Is there someone who can go on with the provided info? The special clue I gave to Wardd was Prestwick in Scotland.

    Good Luck!!

    Come on Wardd, go for it :)

    Yes, including the links to many pictures shown on Wardd's screenshot.

    [​IMG]

    Click those picture links and their discriptions will tell about the place...

    That is if the little blue things are picture links, I'm not sure as my laptop can't handle Google Earth and I'm stuck on Google Maps, so can't try myself.

    Good Luck!
