Giant Corns.

Scant Groin

Other than that cant see any anagrams from carsington.

i think the 2nd clue could be buxton railway staion located at spring gardens. Water/springs are a 'source'. Buxton is the name of a bottled water company who source their water from carsington water. Just a thought? Not sure how the word pain fits tho?

oh and train is obviously a way to travel! :-)

The water that goes into Carsington water comes from the river Derwent, the source of which comes from Swain's Greave

Hello, sorry folks I just couldn't look at this last night my head was pounding and there was umpteen pages of comps as well I've just read through the thread and got up to speed, so I'll dive in now and see if I get anywhere! Thanks for all the thoughts so far and well done to TheKiss for getting Carsington!


eta - there's another village on Carsington water called Knockerdown - they're a violent lot in Derbyshire

:wave: Hope your head's feeling better today!

I noticed that village name too! We're not all violent, honest! :rotfl:

I actually went to sleep last night thinking about the clue!! Still non the wiser though!

Good luck!

Think they might have went all French on us. What if pain is bread?

that fits with Hognaston - from here

At the beginning of the 1900s Hognaston was a village of bakers with three small bakeries serving the needs of the local communities. It was also well known for transport, the Webster family being involved in the haulage business as far back as 1666, when trains of packhorses were used. The coach operation that succeeded horse drawn transport was finally sold in the early 1990s. Nowadays every worker travels some distance to work and the village has been restored to its former rural peace and calm by the building of a by-pass with the construction of Carsington Reservoir.

so the method of travel and the creature is a horse? I'm not sure if it's quite clicking though

If the Pete is Peterborough there's no horse street or anything like that that I can find. I think we're looking for somewhere with conference facilities though and on their website they have info on the rooms available.

Could thepete be an anagram, can't work it out if it is?

Too Good

I'm Still drawn to the 'Limestone Way' being 'A Fine way to travel' and cant get past it atm :mad:

Could the 'Hog' in Hognaston Be the creature in the next clue?

I was wondering too if the pete might be an anagram, but I could not think of anything to fit.

Leaping on a bit now to the rhyme. My feeling is that we are not looking for something to rhyme with pete and street, but that we are looking for a well known rhyme; perhaps a nursery rhyme. Perhaps a nursery rhyme with a creature in it. If we assume that the fine way to travel is a horse, then the rhyme could be Banbury Cross. (The snag is, that does not fit in with the pete). I can't think of any nursery rhymes with hogs in them.

ClosingTime

This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed at home,
This little piggy had roast beef,
This little piggy had none.
And this little piggy went...
"Wee wee wee" all the way home...
