Title: 2019, month by month - but which is which? Post by: grahame on April 07, 2020, 20:31:06 Here are 12 pictures I took during 2019 - one in each month. Can you identify which one was taken in which month (you are welcome to add location too - but this is a MONTH quiz). Just one each to start please - let's see how this goes.
1. Clan Line - Westbury. It was March (last month left!) (http://www.wellho.net/pix/moty_01.jpg) 2. rogerw - Melksham, April (http://www.wellho.net/pix/moty_02.jpg) 3. JontyMort - Dublin.

Title: Re: 2019, month by month - but which is which? Post by: stuving on April 07, 2020, 23:45:17 4. September
Title: Re: 2019, month by month - but which is which? Post by: grahame on April 08, 2020, 05:39:44 The following are correct ...
1 **** Westbury Clan Line - Westbury, but no month yet given 4 September ***** Stuving - September, (but no location given) 5 May Reading Ellendune - Community Rail in the City 12 August ***** Western Pathfinder - August (but not Warminster) I have given myself a real challenge in correlating all the answers here. Three of the months already identified (that's the main quiz), two bonuses of places already! Title: Re: 2019, month by month - but which is which? Post by: CyclingSid on April 08, 2020, 07:08:50 I would guess that No. 6 is Yarmouth (Old) station on the Isle of Wight.
Had to checkhttp://www.geograph.org.uk/browser/#!/q=Yarmouth+Isle+of+Wight/page=4/image=5953879 (http://www.geograph.org.uk/browser/#!/q=Yarmouth+Isle+of+Wight/page=4/image=5953879) because it looks slightly different when you cycle by and your nose is about platform height.

Title: Re: 2019, month by month - but which is which? Post by: grahame on April 08, 2020, 07:20:27 10 Weymouth August Location correct ... not August (that month's picture already identified ;) ) Title: Re: 2019, month by month - but which is which? Post by: grahame on April 08, 2020, 07:52:23 I would guess that No. 6 is Yarmouth (Old) station on the Isle of Wight. Yes, it is. Title: Re: 2019, month by month - but which is which?

Title: Re: 2019, month by month - but which is which? Post by: grahame on April 08, 2020, 08:25:21 8. October Euston? Correct with Euston ... month very hard on that one - not October I'm afraid. Title: Re: 2019, month by month - but which is which?

Post by: Clan Line on April 08, 2020, 10:45:30 12. Tilshead - I recognise the tacky pub sign in the background !
Title: Re: 2019, month by month - but which is which? Post by: stuving on April 08, 2020, 10:53:00 4 is, of course, on the New York subway.
Title: Re: 2019, month by month - but which is which? Post by: froome on April 08, 2020, 11:01:55 11. No idea where it is. The long shadows suggest a month in the winter half of the year, but the clothing worn by the nearest person suggests warm temperatures. We had some exceptionally warm weather in the last week of February last year, so I will suggest then.

Tilshead - I recognise the tacky pub sign in the background ! Yes 10 Weymouth August Location correct ... not August (that month's picture already identified ;) ) Yes, it was! Title: Re: 2019, month by month - but which is which? Post by: Bmblbzzz on April 08, 2020, 11:39:43 7 is surely Clifton Down. But I've no idea which month. I'll make a random guess if I have to; it's dark and there are a fair few people waiting, so it's winter, how about November/
Title: Re: 2019, month by month - but which is which? Post by: grahame on April 08, 2020, 12:07:02 7 is surely Clifton Down. But I've no idea which month.

You're right that it's a winter picture, but not November. That's quite a tricky one to date accurately! Title: Re: 2019, month by month - but which is which? Post by: rogerw on April 08, 2020, 13:15:45 2. Melksham. Can't remember the month but April?
Title: Re: 2019, month by month - but which is which? Post by: grahame on April 08, 2020, 13:57:58 2. Melksham. Can't remember the month but April? Correct on both counts! Title: Re: 2019, month by month - but which is which? Post by: rogerw on April 08, 2020, 14:53:29 a bit of a cheat as I was there ;D ;D
Title: Re: 2019, month by month - but which is which? Post by: PhilWakely on April 08, 2020, 15:31:47 8. October Euston? Correct with Euston ... month very hard on that one - not October I'm afraid. OK - I'll go for November as I think the picture was actually taken on Saturday November 30? Title: Re: 2019, month by month - but which is which? Post by: grahame on April 08, 2020, 17:01:34 8. October Euston? Correct with Euston ... month very hard on that one - not October I'm afraid. OK - I'll go for November as I think the picture was actually taken on Saturday November 30? Close but are does the Caledonian sleeper run on Saturday nights? Title: Re: 2019, month by month - but which is which? Post by: PhilWakely on April 08, 2020, 17:09:14 8. October Euston?

You're right that it's a winter picture, but not November. That's quite a tricky one to date accurately! I could but I won't as I picked you up it wouldn't be fair 🤔 Title: Re: 2019, month by month - but which is which? Post by: JontyMort on April 08, 2020, 23:47:13 7 is surely Clifton Down.

No clue on the month. The shadows are long, but that proves nothing as it isn’t daylight. Title: Re: 2019, month by month - but which is which? Post by: stuving on April 09, 2020, 00:59:21 3 is Dublin. No clue on the month. The shadows are long, but that proves nothing as it isn’t daylight. the last time we had 3 in a quiz was in October 2019, and it was taken at Saggart the same day. Can't see why that would have changed this time ... Title: Re: 2019, month by month - but which is which? Post by: grahame on April 09, 2020, 01:14:58 Sorry, it would have been late on the Friday evening. Your travelogue mentions traveling up on the Saturday? ? Did it ... have to go back and look. I may have misrepresented something then. I travelled up on the Sunday night ... which made it Sunday 1st December - I recall getting to Motherwell and my connection and place of work somewhat before it was unlocked and sitting waiting on a cold wall in the dark for the keyholder. The wall, it turned out, had been covered in ice which melted as I sat on it. 3 is Dublin. No clue on the month. The shadows are long, but that proves nothing as it isn’t daylight. the last time we had 3 in a quiz was in October 2019, and it was taken at Saggart the same day. Can't see why that would have changed this time ... The clues, indeed, are out there ;D. ... never waste a good picture using it just once, and we have new and occasional members who may have missed it the first time. 7 is surely Clifton Down. But I've no idea which month. I'll make a random guess if I have to; it's dark and there are a fair few people waiting, so it's winter, how about November/ Yes, it is Clifton Down. You're right that it's a winter picture, but not November. That's quite a tricky one to date accurately! I could but I won't as I picked you up it wouldn't be fair 🤔 You have an ... extended ... sense of fairness there. I would be delighted to give you the brownie points for giving the month, added to the brownie points for - I recall - a lift back to Temple Meads at the end as I hit the 90 minute evening gap on "The Beach". Title: Re: 2019, month by month - but which is which? Post by: stuving on April 09, 2020, 10:37:04 Doesn't No. 11 look suspiciously like Melksham, despite being a 158? In which case it's probably the 10:02 to Swindon on Tuesday 26th Feb (at a guess).

In which case it's probably the 10:02 to Swindon on Tuesday 26th Feb (at a guess). Definitely Melksham. No Taunton yet, I note. Title: Re: 2019, month by month - but which is which?

1 - Month 6 - Month 7 - Month 9 - Location and month Months remaining to be spoken for: January, March, June and November I have made myself a very interesting task monitoring 2 sets of answers! Please excuse any replies I have missed. Tidying up - here are the 4 pictures not yet completely worked out: 1. Clan Line - Westbury, but no month yet given (http://www.wellho.net/pix/moty_01.jpg) 6. Yarmouth, Isle of Wight CyclingSid (but no month yet) (http://www.wellho.net/pix/moty_06.jpg) 7. Bmblbzzz - Clifton Down - No month yet (http://www.wellho.net/pix/moty_07.jpg) 9.

Title: Re: 2019, month by month - but which is which? Post by: stuving on April 10, 2020, 09:34:40 6 - was presumably taken in November, as you were on (in?) the IoW then. Obviously I'm not the only one capable of forgetting such things in only a few months.

Obviously I'm not the only one capable of forgetting such things in only a few months. In that case 9 must be June - the only one with green leaves on the trees? Yes - so just January and March to allocate to the pictures of Clifton Down and Westbury, and the location for the June picture to be worked out. Title: Re: 2019, month by month - but which is which? Post by: eightonedee on April 10, 2020, 15:44:06 The Clifton Down picture looks the very essence of a miserable January day.......
Title: Re: 2019, month by month - but which is which? Post by: smokey on April 10, 2020, 15:53:26 No 9 Middlesbrough in July :)

Obviously I'm not the only one capable of forgetting such things in only a few months. Yes, it was No 9 Middlesbrough in July :) Correct The Clifton Down picture looks the very essence of a miserable January day....... It was indeed taken in January. I can't recall the weather - what I remember from that evening is the excellent company that was anything but miserable. Really enjoyed it. Chez FoSBR Which leaves just March for the picture of Westbury. Hope this "which month" quiz has been bit of fun!
