2c thought it micht be a green party but after much googling came across a John Muir that hadd an Albion Party in the 90s elections. is it him

3g was there rubbish and a cairn removed from Cairngorm, would that make it a gorm?

5 Is there a Tory Glen in Ireland? So that implies a Tory mountain and labour had a landslide victory.

7b are they volcanos?

8g not been to the Thistle Centre since Clanger1 moved home from Stirling. wish I'd paid more attention

Sorry about that Soupy but Rapunzell is right. It's not easy keeping up with who got what. (please let off it's the first time I've tried doing this, It's not as easy as it appears to keep track).

Scores so far..........

Now you know why I passed the buck!!!!!!

As you know, I can't count!!!!

SoupDragon · Post by **SoupDragon** » 18 Feb 2007, 18:16

I missed Rapunzels Cairngorm , would have saved me much searching if I noticed

Right hope I'm not duplicating anything
1d Aviemore
1c I keep thonking chocolate ( who doesn't) but know Toblerone still have their mountainous look so it must be one of the bigger lot like Cadbury or Nestle

7a Think Plymoth was one of the towns in Monserrat which was hit by a volcano eruption way back. Wiped out recording studios and the whole economy.

Cant remember the number
Rolling Stones Let it bleed and Delia Smith baked the cake

Boards of Canada did a song Happy Cycling do they count as edinburgh singer/songwriters?

Rapunzel already got 1d
1c I'll give you that one
It was Cadbury, forced to redesign their Swiss Chalet chocolate wrapper which showed the Matterhorn.
7a
Montserrat (where Plymouth is the main town) has been very much under the volcano. The only doubt concerns whether the highest summit, Chances Peak (formerly a neat 914m) had itself erupted, or if it was another, more general, location in the SoufriÃ¨re Hills. Various Caribbean guidebooks later, this still felt as unclear as the result of a Trinidadian Test, so full marks for both/either.

2g and 2h Let It Bleed and Delia Smith are correct

I can't find the answer for the Edinburgh singer/songwriter question.
4 points anyway Soupdragon.

was C3pO not posted as an answer?

I have to bow out of this quiz as I've found some of the quiz and answers in an obscure hill walking journal
Most of the questions are only understandable if you're into hillwalking so asked a friend , when they'd descended from their latest Munro and the pointed me in the right direction.

rapunzell · Post by **rapunzell** » 19 Feb 2007, 08:49

Thanks for the last few days of competitive pondering Soupdragon, Black Mamba, Arachnid and Izzie - that was a lot more concentrating than I normally do at the weekend! It was fun

Black Mamba · Post by **Black Mamba** » 19 Feb 2007, 13:06

It was but I'd bowed out after, so discounted my answer, one point to you Soupy.

George "Star Wars" Lucas lived in postal district C-3PO, San Rafael, California

At the close of this the scores are

Thanks everyone who participated. (mainly the above metioned.
Thanks Izzie for asking me to help, I enjoyed it. Hope K is much better now.
