Correct with Airlie.  Glad you enjoyed the anagrams.  We've got some more coming up in Part 2 - anagrams of route names, some of which I was really quite proud of....!


Oops.  I've just realised these are already up - Question 7.   And none have been answered yet....  Anyone else like anagrams?

There are also a few other questions or part questions which no-one has got yet.

Okay, by my reckoning these are the ones still to be answered:-

1b & f
3f & h
4a & d
5c (route) & e
6e & f (route)
7a, b, d & e
8b & d(crag)

You will be pleased to learn that you will be spared Round 9, as that was the Mime Climbs round.  You really had to be there....

Round 10 is audio clips from original interviews, so we may have to miss that too - unless Graham has the technology.

'Normal' questions resume at Round 11....

Neil

These anagrams are hard work! Having found "Overhang" quite quickly, it took me ages to find :-

7(e) Overhanging Bastion

and these two took even longer :-

7(b) A Dream of White Horses
7(d) Darkinbad the Brightdayler

For a Peak area quiz, there's a lot of non-Peak routes!

Nice one!  I'm pleased to see those 'go down'.

Of course Peak routes don't always make the best anagrams....  ;)

Graham is going to post some more tomorrow evening.  He might just post the lot, and then give the answers, say, a week later (if that would be okay?).

Monitoring the thread and verifying answers has proved rather time consuming (though Shark or any of the others who were there on the night) are more than welcome to join in  :please:

Not a terrordactyl Duncan (that was a popular answer on the night), though I think you should know the answer.

Your others are correct, so D and G still needed.

Some missing ones from the first lot :-

6(e) Tom Randall - Nahhan (the thing near Make It Snappy)?
6(f) Someone had already guessed Caminati, I think it might be Superstition or The Promise at Burbage North
8(b) Blackpool Promenade at Almscliff?

Also, total guess at 3(h) - Sardine and 5(e) - Wings of Unreason.

Pretty certain 5e is Wings of Unreason too.
