in a word... Meh!

thingamaBob

Still no solution posted! Perhaps they can't solve it themselves. :rotfl:

reniannen

lol maybe they made a mistake and now they're frantically trying to find a new solution which fits the clues

Marg2k8

I messaged them a few days back and I had a reply yesterday that said that they would be posting the correct answer "tomorrow". Perhaps it's true what they say that tomorrow never comes.

Solution at last:-

Did Henry go starving while clearing bent grass?
Hungry Bentley is an abandoned village in the Derbyshire Dales. It is mentioned in the Domesday book as belonging to Henry de Ferrers. 'Bentley' is said to mean a place where there is bent grass

Buy hall and you'll see above cellar your task.
The sales brochure for Hungry Bentley Hall shows that the cellar is below the drawing room.

Match she without T find where hat home did make,
'Match she' without the letter T is an anagram of 'Chesham' where you can find The Drawing Room art gallery, thought to have been the home to Lewis Carrol's Mad Hatter.

Crustacean will show you the one with no steak.
The Mad Hatter was thought to be based on Roger Crab, political writer and ethical vegetarian.
Now where he joined Phil you remember your youth,

Roger Crab moved to Bethnal Green in 1657 where he joined a group called the Philadelphians. The Museum of Childhood is in Bethnal Green.

The pattern from inmates will lead to the truth.
The fish scale pattern in on the museum floor was laid by female inmates of Woking Gaol.

Word two you must find and then flog the wrong way,
Scales is word two and golf is an anagram of flog. A search on google maps will show you a place called Scales near Ulverston Golf Club.

Go homeward with hope and that's all for today.
Ulverston Golf Club has holes named 'homeward' and 'hope'.

Marg2k8, so close, you said you found Scales, just didn't connect with Ulverston.

reniannen

argh, simple when you know the answer. I don't know how I never spotted Ulverston when I was looking at all the Scales on the map.

Shame it wasn't Turnberry but at least that settles the discussion we had about entities

Marg2k8

So near and yet so far. I'm pleased that this time it was won by someone in the UK, not someone from the USA. Also, by the same token, we know that Lodge should be right this time.

kragen_ironfist

so the scales was the right path after all

well done all fingers crossed for this month but I agree with Marg2k8 does make Lodge more likely
