***Anneli*** · Oct 5 2010, 04:43 PM

I can't believe it's round to my turn again

So WiTW is this one?

***Hans*** · Oct 5 2010, 04:55 PM

Oh golly, a windmill

Come on Pancho, let's ride again...!

Spain?

***Anneli*** · Oct 5 2010, 05:01 PM

No, Hans, not in Spain

PS: Welcome back

How 'bout closer to Hans - a Dutch windmill in one of the Scandanivian countries?

***Anneli*** · Oct 5 2010, 07:06 PM

No, jube, not in Scandinavia

AnnMarie · Oct 5 2010, 08:58 PM

England

Greenrider Tresa · Oct 6 2010, 04:21 PM

Europe?

P'ter · Oct 6 2010, 05:32 PM

Holland?

***Anneli*** · Oct 6 2010, 06:58 PM

Sorry, P'ter, not in Holland

But AnnMarie (and hence Tresa) is right, it's in England

jube · Oct 6 2010, 08:55 PM

Northern half of England (well north of a line from Norwich to Aberystwyth)?

***Hans*** · Oct 7 2010, 02:38 AM

Southwest England?

***Anneli*** · Oct 7 2010, 05:46 PM

Jube, not in the Northern half of England

Hans, not sure how to define Southwest England, but I suspect you're on the right track :

***Hans*** · Oct 8 2010, 02:48 AM

Alright, I understand what you mean and should have been more clear.
Now I used theis map: http://www.maplandia.com/united-king...nd/south-west/

So, my hopefully clearer question is:
Is is within the region defined with the red line?

Congratulations to P'ter for his almost correct PM

Sorry, got called away unexpectedly on family business so didn't check in yesterday

It's Ashton Windmill, near Chapel Allerton in Somerset

I took the picture last autumn when we were on holiday near there, it's a beautiful spot
