25 Tremadoc?

I think 25 is Shepherds Crag. Had another idea for the link, but just realised it was likely as rubbish as the last guess.

Yes it is, which means the 26 link is Christmas/Nativity?  Angel, Virgin, Shepherds, erm Clifftop.

Bingo nai (though one more aerial shot in the list needed. 

re cliff top - according to Dave - "you cant have christmas without a bit of Cliff Richard"   :shrug:

shirley Dove Crag would have been more apt.

I took it to mean Cliff at the top of the charts, which is rather good.

Ah, just got the guide out to see if it's actually known as something else (Durwood Tor) and was hoping it wasn't as tenuous as the description: "a small crown of grit".

shirley Dove Crag would have been more apt.

What have doves got to do with xmas? Jesus didn't crash that night at an aviary.

I was going to have the pudding stone as a google earth question, problem is its hardly notable from above.

Curious about No.3. don't own those guides to check. I'd have guessed they are both the wrong way around?

I'm sure Cliff has more of a cultural impact in the modern xmas than doves. How many xmas number ones has a dove had in your lifetime? Fuckall, thats how many.

A few more to add in :-

10 Last route = New Statesman?
12 is Staden Quarry (hidden somewhere in my earlier post, plus Fiend just posted same answer)
13 thought Dave had said Marc Le Menestrel was incorrect?
16 Pretty sure Rheinstor is one of them. No longer have a copy to check any others.
17 Giant biceps, so Sam Whittaker?

At the risk of doing Dave's job for him, I can tell you that you were right vis-a-vis Q3 earlier. I am seriously regretting not having you in to bolster our team now!

Oh, and the above for no.14 is correct too.

Sorry, my mistake, it was Pete Gomersall/Mike Lea where he said keep guessing.
