Yeah, but I read some fieldnotes somewhere that mentioned that the OS map may be slightly misleading. Not that I'm suggesting that it's all a government conspiracy to drown hippies or anything!

As for an AWIL..... remember that pub? Where all the locals stop talking when the Americans enter? I found a worse one! I was trying to find a rumoured festival up near Pendle Hill many years ago. After much driving around, we thought 'sod it', and headed for the next pub we saw. This was a little off the beaten track, and it should really have set off alarm bells that the place was called "The Swan With Two Heads" (complete with illustration in case of any ambiguity!). Got the whole instant silence treatment - tumbleweed blowing through the bar, wind whistling.... the whole damn lot! T'was an unsettling experience. We left sharpish!

swan with two heads... scary stuff

"The Swan With Two Heads"

Wow, I drove past a pub with that name t'other night! Somewhere around Hebdon Bridge iirc.

My fav. recently is one on the edge of Rochdale called "Success to the Plough", always makes me think of Children of the Corn or even The Wicker Man!
