Well 77000 bit of a picture desert. Yes I could go with postal codes, and France supplies the National Gendarmarie Museum in 77000, but slightly unsatisfying. Most "interesting" thing I turned up was that probably the most famous ship built on the Tyne, and a regular holder of the coveted "Blue Riband", was sold for scrapping to Metal Industries up at Rosyth for precisely £77,000. Quite a lot of detailed history from Newcastle Uni on it on the net.

OK Neil, here's a very obscure one to scratch your head about Here's a picture to commemorate the 77,000 post - it's from Lochailort. But why ?

Lochailort - Google Maps, fair use

[NewcastleFalcon]

How many points? and on the haynes spanner scale degree of difficulty?

REgards Neil

[bobins]

50 points, 6 spanners. It's obscure
To be fair, I could have chosen an awful lot of other houses, but this one suited me.

[NewcastleFalcon]

So it isnt some kind of grid reference GPS reference then although 77's are pretty adjacent.

It is Well done I was going to go for an NGR of 77000, 77000, but up in that neck of the woods it's a little barren and there isn't a Streetview available up on Moidart
That house is more or less, at 77000, 82777 so I settled for that.

This link is a bit redundant now but I was typing as you replied


Well rather like my Mauretania link on 6th November 2017, £77,000 was paid for
