    regarding dragons and boats, I stumbled across this (the British Dragon Association) but have found no way to link it in so far.

    [edit] Googling that I also stumble across another BDA (although it should be the BDBRA) - The British Dragon Boat Racing Association

    I did not find the gazetteer site very user friendly. I tried searching, but it brought up lots of places without pete in them.

    Not convinced on the dragon boat idea.

    I was going with my Welsh idea and looking at Lampeter. I got quite excited when I saw on the map the Mulberry Bush. I was convinced that was going to be the a pub linked into the nursery rhyme idea. I thought I would look at their website and find a CR and P room. Only to be disappointed to find it was not a pub at all, but a toy shop. Oh well - try again I suppose.

    :j:j:j I think I might have it
    I went back to Petersfield, I was convinced it must be right it fitted too perfectly, then went back to my old idea that the rhyme might be the adjoining village of Sheet. This time I found this place

    On that site there is a floorplan which shows a room labelled Changing Room & Props

    Which would give us Hanging Wood :D:D

    this one in Yorkshire is associated with Robin Hood and a river flows through it called

    Robin Hood's stream

    looks good to me??


    oh my goodness, well done everyone!! :T:T
    Thought we were never going to get there, I'd never have got this one in a million years.

    just to throw another line of thought into the mush, what if we are bearing down the wrong track entirely.

    Now don't get me wrong, I like the link to the hurt arms, dragon balloon company - but maybe we are at the wrong source?

    The wording of the line is You're soon to discover a great source of pain - I can't help but think that while the hurt arms is a source of pain, and it is at the source for CW, is it a GREAT source of pain? - That said, I am not coming up with any other reasonable suggestions.

    Nice find sir - looks plausible.

    [edit]

    Having re-read the clue, I think you have the answer.

    Well done Sir.

    no I'm not, I got stuck in a loop, got seriously fed up and nearly gave up on this one :rotfl: but thanks :)

    I think everyone deserves a medal for persevering and keeping posting their ideas :D Well done especially to TheKiss and SheepAreEvil for solving the first two parts of the clue :T:T

    Three cheers for Queen Reniannen :T:T:T (and of course, everyone else, who has contributed) :T:T:T

    They still haven't put the answer to last months puzzle up yet. I wonder when they will publish that one.
