Aber Falls in Carnarvonshire. Lovely place. Bit of a walk to get there though.

These village signs are unique to the county and were erected to celebrate the 1951 Festival of Britain...

See one of those signs and you know you're in Bedfordshire!

I see from that map that there is an obvious hole in my claimed territory so I'll add this picture from Henley and claim Oxfordshire to tidy it up!! :-D

Yes apologies from me Jim the the map updating runs a bit behind the actual posts :-D , but the posts are the definitive claims. You were the first star on the map with Northants, and I allocated you a yellow star with red border and you will see from the updated map that you have indeed officially claimed Northamptonshire and Somerset :-D

I'm sure in your photo archives there are a few more counties you can bag. Huntingdon right now is free :-D

...and seeing as we are working from a pre-1975 set of Old Counties, Callender was at the time firmly part of Perthshire.

I claim Perthshire

I present a trio of Capris in Callender Car park
