I'm often in Muff
Many people from the North just pop over the border to the wee village of Muff for far cheaper petrol without high uk taxes. One of the many petrol stations are owned by the company 'Top', and if you ask them nicely they will give you a keyring with 'Top Muff' on it.
Just down the road is a wee village called Creagh which is gaelic for Crag!

Did you know they have removed the word 'Gullible' from the latest edition of the Oxford English Dictionary.

ooooh handbags at sundown Neil!!
come on... orienteering related wordplay? aren't we just playing up to the stereotypes of orienteers as being utter nerds?
in fact, why don't we all get "GEEK" tattooed on our foreheads? or grow beards and wear socks and sandals, a brown cardigan and ron hill tights down to Asda?
right then, i'm off to solve the 'photo orienteering' competition from march 1986's edition of compass sport then wack off over my route choices at the Tile Hill WMOA gallopen orange course from 1991.

Tile Hill
i litererally have no idea why that choice of area amused me so much. i think its the adding of gallopen.

That perfectly describes customers at our local Asda! and the blokes aren't a lot better

Oh well, here goes...
Believe it or not, I have work to do. However, with web references in brackets, I have done a miniscule amount of research and found:
Fence, Lancashire (1)
Marsh, Devon (2)
Forest, Channel Islands (3)*
Bridge, Kent or Cornwall (4)
and the worst of all,
Styal, Cheshire (5)

There are a couple of Westgates and a couple of Fence'.
Of course for the Urban events there is Westward Ho! (Only amusing of course if you watch Jerry Springer or listen to Gangsta rap (That's a type of modern music John!))

There's a 'Lost' in Scotland (you must have seen/been sent the postcard). I remember drunkenly trying to steal the signpost to Lost at a 6 Days many a year back...
Not technically a control site, but could be very near one.
Bendover, I though no-one had seen me at Asda that day

What an easy game this is! Is it just that most people aren't geeky enough?
