Second clue.

was it near to any old mines or quarries?

Yes

Explosives store.

How far off was I with the bridge?

6-7km off.

within 1 km of a named bridge

Within 1k but not on the same grid square.

Is this named bridge marked on the map 1:50 or 1:25k ?

1:25k

Are we allowed to know a rough bearing on which it lies from bb towers.

No.

stumped now! But hey ho will keep trying and i like this game. Its loads more entertaining than drinking beer in the town with all the other piss heads.

My last stab at it tonight then... was the named bridge in question Penmaenpool ( toll bridge ) and is the mine workings Clogau mine? Im searching on google earth and the maps at possible tracks u may of been checking out and theres one that runs north of the mine workings? But im wrong

Will check it out later. Have been asleep or away from maps/ satellite imagery since last night, so didn't get a chance to find it for myself.

Ah, I was looking at this location on the map the other night while trying to decipher the BB200 route. I figure this was connected to your 2 mile hike a bike through the bracken?

I'm definitely the saddest bastard here as I tried to read the location from the exif headers

You're not on your own, I jumped to that straight away too! (Only chance I had really)
