Guys, a while back I saw a simplified map of the UK with important waypoints like "sally's wotsits" etc. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks everyone. I knew it would be a simple answer but my vague attempt at Google was a little to vague.:ok:

Where are sally's tits geographically? And couldn't find the "piss off Biggles" building!

Its also missing the Inernational Railway Junction - as everyone knows, the only way into The Plain.

Sally's wotsits are about 10-15nm SW of Shawbury.

Sally's tits are on there. Just to the east of Creamie Corridor. If you were wondering what they actually are then look here (http://www.brantub.co.uk/Hills/MalvernHills2.JPG).

Piss off Biggles is denoted by the green cross in North Wales. It may have been removed in the last 6 months though.

The magnet is cunningly placed to draw in the unwary (ie everybody) in the area into Shobdon.

Piss Off Biggles is here:

Yeah, but what do the magnet symbols really really signify :eek:

'PoB' is on the map - it is in the north-western corner of Wales. There is a green 'building' trapezoid, and the 'X' is partially hidden by that symbol.

Time Flies; that's the Malvern Hills, Sally's Tit's are Clee Hill (obvious by the Nats en route radar on top).

Apologies...you're not wrong! I couldn't remember if it was the Malverns or Clee Hills and as you can see from my post it was waaaaayyy past hometime so didn't have the will to check 1/2 mil before posting. :rolleyes:

Cheers,

Background Noise is quite correct about Shobdon. The Malton Magnet is a strong metallic device buried deep underneath Malton that attracts solo Tucano students like flies to a poo. Similarly, the FlamingoLand avoid used to suck in scared LL solo studes. ;)
