Theres a place called 'Youlgreave',reasonably close by?the wikipage is interesting?
a pun on great pain? or the mining disaster found there in 32?
Also ' a fine way to travel' could be the'limestone way' that is mentioned passing through it?
Also the village in the doomesday book as belonging to Henry de Ferres,who seems to be a fav from previous hunts
Just thinking out loud to try to get into the mindset.
Apologies for the less than useful input so far0 -
She has probably solved it already, but doesn't want to spoil the fun for us :rotfl:0

I was wondering if source was the source of a river. I can't find any river Pain or Payne or Hurt, but the source of the River Derwent is not too far away at Swain's Greave

once again, perhaps this is a pun of grief.0 -

Ihave no idea if this has any relevance but thought I'd throw it into the mix just in case.

My brain actually hurts from all this thinking, good job I'm a few days ahead on ending comps, more time to spend on this!!!
The only thing I could think of in regards to travel that's not far from Carsington is Crich Tramway Museum, but I can't see how it fits.
When we finally get to the end bit, I was thinking that 'To find the old wood where a man runs, you'll see.' means that we have to look on google earth or something for a man running! :rotfl:0 -
I can't find any major floods in the UK that would have been visited by a member of the royal family, neither can I find any water based sporting events that tie in with royalty.
HRH Prince Charles went to Yorkshire after the floods in 2007.

Read the sticky on the House Buying, Renting & Selling board.0 -
Thank you, but I was specifically meaning in 1992, since the first line of the puzzle includes the number 92. I think that one of the later posters has hit the nail on the head by saying that the Queen visited Carsington Water in 1992.0

More random ramblings from me. I was thinking that because they often use an anagram in their puzzles, we should be looking for an anagram of Carsington that has a painful sounding name. I was really thinking of a place name, but the only painful sounding anagram that I could come up with was 'Giant's corn'! Perhaps anyone out there that is better at anagrams can come up with a painful sounding place name. (From past cashhunt puzzles, it does not need to be close by, it could be anywhere in the UK).0
