32) Which is the southernmost E2. Wombat or Fern Hill?

Whilst I second-guessed this last night, I was unable to convince my team. I do hope though, it was verified with on-site GPS; I would personally be wary of trusting the National Grid at this level of precision due to discrepancies between true latitude and the mercator-projected grid.

Reading this I've just checked on Google Maps and there's very little in it! Fern Hill is traversing south too

Flipping great quiz some great moments between Rob Greenwood and I where we both looked at each other and said "yep" 

Think with a few more people in our team we'd have stood a better chance think there was 5(?) of us in ours though one bloke was fucking useless. The two hill walkers were fairly useful as well. Was glad I got moved from the winning team as it meant I got to have an input in the team.

Good skills quiz masters!!

5)  VS 5a   V8   E3 5c      E6 7a    ***   E4 6b ***   E6 7a *   E6 6c   E3 6a **   E4 6b**   V8   V3

Can anyone get this one? I was racking my brains to think of a three star E6 7a next door to a three star E4 6b and gave up. In trying to cheat to put myself out of my misery I looked on the Grit List and couldn't really find anything that fit.

[Duncan campbell]

I got that one last night easy Will!

As an aside, I believe Ben Bransby and Mike Cheque 1 2, both of this parish, have/were volunteered to run next year's quiz. So best start brushing up your knowledge of E9s, Black Rocks and seacliffs.

[Johnny Brown]

Bransby bottled it, luckily Shark was passing and before he knew it had volunteered.

Because the E6 7a gets E7 6c on the gritlist! Took me ages to figure it out too
