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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

First of all yesterday’s River answers<\/p>\n

a) The Severn<\/strong> <\/span>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<\/strong> last year. b) The Hudson<\/strong> <\/span>flows through New York\u00a0 c) The St Lawrence<\/strong> <\/span>is the river of 1,000 islands d) The Tigris<\/span><\/strong> flow through Baghdad e) The Elbe<\/span><\/strong> flows through the Czech Republic and Germany<\/p>\n

Mountain Quiz<\/strong> (a slightly different angle for questions about mountains!)<\/p>\n

a) Rocky Mountain High<\/strong> <\/em><\/span>is one of two official songs of what US State? b) Who might you find on Mount Olympus<\/span><\/strong>? c) Which book did the Misty Mountains \u00a0<\/span><\/strong>first appear?\u00a0 d) Where in the mountains did Sherlock Holmes<\/span> <\/strong>meet his death? e) Dinas Emrys <\/span><\/strong>is linked to what well known mythological\u00a0 character?<\/p>\n

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