Have either of you sent a PM to a BG? As it's still showing in "Game Over". This one has been doing my head in and I went on to the Cashhunt site to see what the solution was. I am gutted that we have to wait another month before we can be put out of our misery. I wish they would give us another hint. Are you guys going to spend any more time thinking about it, or is it doing your heads in too?

Yes, I've sent a PM a few days ago. Will do a reminder in a minute.

Take two from the town which bars apples on east,
Ye Olde Cider Bar is on East Street in the town of Newton Abbot. Take from this the seccond word, 'Abbot'
Brave George from Carnoustie comes last but not least.
George Samson from Carnoustie was a recipient of the Victoria Cross. Putting his surname after the word 'abbot' gives you 'Abbot Samson'.
Tot up now to find out when saviours create,
Abbot Samson of Tottington founded St. Saviour's Hospital in Bury St Edmunds in 1184.
Times one and point five, get the copper's first date.
Multiply 1184 by 1.5 to get 1776, the year that artist John Constable was born.
Below why of memory, onwards with hope,
Looking at Constable's tomb you will see that below the letter Y in the word memory, the letter S can be seen.
Then currency leads you to dig holes for soap.
S can mean Shilling, the defunct Brittish coin. There is a street named Shilling Street in Sudbury, Suffolk.
A field in a village, an F labelled place,
RAF Lavenham is a former World War II airfield near Sudbury. The website shows different buildings labled with letter. F is the pumphouse.
An artful location brings end to this race.
The Pump House Gallery is an Art Gallery located in Battersea Park. London.


We got the middle bit but the two ends??? Very loose connections!!

Yes, very tenuous connections. No wonder we didn't get it and nor did anyone else. Even though we thought the last word was gallery, we had no real inkling. I hope the next one is easier. I shall have a look at it in a moment.

Dormouse

Totally agree, ridiculous connections! A cider bar??? :undecided No wonder nobody got it!
