Corston, one of the two villages within walking distance of my University, is also largely sandwiched between two converging primary routes.

It's nice to know that this thread is still going strong. In its 17 months of existence it has averaged about eight posts a day, which is certainly not bad going especially considering how some of us have seen our access capabilities reduced during that time. Thank you again for making this one of the best and most educational threads - and not just among the Quiz group either - on the Forum.

At this point, Paul has had slightly over one-in-three posts in this thread, while Welshman and I have almost exactly 1,000 between us at a near 50:50 ratio.

[let's see if I can push my average up a bit!]

Corston sounds like Causton, Barnaby's patch in Midsomer Murders, which is actually based on Wallingford, Oxfordshire.

We may have a problem here. The team indeed does have that name in their title (which has connotations to stags antlers), but they have always been connected with Strathpeffer

Posting below is in relation to the amended settlement of Fort William

Ayr was also chosen for the site of a military fort in past days.

Helensburgh is another settlement that I never would have visited if it wasn't for forum meets.
