Might it have something to do with the Rev W Audrey ? I don't *think* so unless you're giving me an obscure answer to an obscure connection. Penyghent is another. Title: Re: royal duchy tour Sunday 16 August Post by: JayMac on August 16, 2015, 23:06:52 If you exclude letter prefixes, Western Pathfinder is 1001, Union of South Africa is 60009, Penyghent is 8.
All those numbers are the same upside down.

All those numbers are the same upside down. Correct ... I always "see" that in Union of South Africa when reading about it ...
