Lots of good answers so far. I'll post up a link to a version with all the answers in soon.
Any guesses on the couple sat on the rock (G8)?

Googled that one... Dark.. very dark.  :devil-smiley:
Ah, I thought so, something to do with one of the Manchester Rock and Ice club guys who married his mates wife and was later shot? Slim Sorrell I think? Long time since I read those old books

No. Much darker.

Assume you mean L11

Check this one out too.

I can't place L10 though. Is it Dovedale or Manifold rather than on the Wye.

Just search "Francis Frith". The site has got loads of interesting pictures. I especially like the ones of Stoney. Another good source is Pictures of the past which is a Derbyshire council archive.
 Unfortunately the site no longer seems to be managed and they don't respond to feed back when the information is incorrect.

L1 - Peaches, Nice n’ Sleazy for Gibson, struggling with a third (unless Golden Brown is a Peak Gibson route) - all the ones I can think of are Pembroke/Clywd.

Is there a Dutchess somewhere?

I’m the same, both work and home. Work blocks OneDrive access so that makes sense, but home worked fine for the other one and just hangs now.

There were 9 points available for the gear ID round, which isn't online.

A team of me, Fiend, Dave Parry, Graeme Hammond, Toby Archer and Graeme’s mate whose name escapes me now :sorry:

There were four other teams, two scored in the sixties, two in the twenties IIRC. A tough year for the hillwalkers this time!

Dave, Toby and myself are setting next year’s.
