Lock Down (Number 367)

It certainly feels like the number in today’s title! Hope everyone is well and finding things to do! I feel so lucky to live in a rural setting and have a decent garden but feel for people in inner cities flats.

It is usually my exercise forays that give me ideas for the daily quiz questions. As I was pedalling up Frocester Hill today it came to me of course mountains!!!! Not that Frocester Hill is a mountain! As the day has gone on I’ve changed the type of questions about mountains.

First of all yesterday’s River answers

a) The Severn is the longest river in Great Britain (notice I avoided Ireland)-I have a wealth of facts about the Severn from our performances as Two Severn Bores last year. b) The Hudson flows through New York  c) The St Lawrence is the river of 1,000 islands d) The Tigris flow through Baghdad e) The Elbe flows through the Czech Republic and Germany

Mountain Quiz (a slightly different angle for questions about mountains!)

a) Rocky Mountain High is one of two official songs of what US State? b) Who might you find on Mount Olympus? c) Which book did the Misty Mountains  first appear?  d) Where in the mountains did Sherlock Holmes meet his death? e) Dinas Emrys is linked to what well known mythological  character?

Picture below has been in a blog before -it is me on the Col du Tourmalet nearly three years ago. A wonderful climb!
