Currently, I have no good reason to suspect any hidden meaning, secret knowledge or religious plot underlying the location system what3words, but I have been amused at the address of some boulder problems

Bullworker at Stanage =  data.coherent.effort

the start of Deliverance = pounds.backed.most

Remergence area contains some great addresses - cliff.advice.else - assure.submit.sobs - slows.blows.dices

Conan The Librarian = zeal.forum.notice

this could make next years Christmas Crossword slightly more interesting

I'm sure that there must be other amusing addresses of routes, boulders or problems out there for people with sleep problems to discover

what's your favourite?

It’s an app that converts your location into three easily distinguishable words. Apparently the mountain rescue teams like - asked for people to use it when calling in a location.

///kink.piercing.beam

middle of nowhere, but surrounded by interesting sounding addresses
