ClosingTime

Im pretty stuck too


I looked into the suggestion of Breadsall but couldnt make it work at all.

I still think your Hognaston is our best bet to date but will go back and start again 4 other poss avenues.


Thought maybe an old Toll Road for 'Fine Way' to travel??

or 'a fine way to travel' could be a quote from someone or a famous line from somewhere?

or 'fine' being archaic for 'a long way' ie 'a fair way to travel'?

Hope you don't mind me joining in, but I just thought I'd add something that may or may not help. I've been looking at Carsington related subjects, and apparently there is a new hydro powered wind farm that runs a mill. Some of the local b&b's mention that all their bread comes from this mill. I can't find exactly where it is at the moment, still looking.

Apparently the windfarm is on Carsington Pastures. Lots of info here about the area and mentions a landmark called Lady Chair. Not exactly a means of travel, but interesting. Also mentions some of the people who came from there which might link up somewhere.

ETA It also says a "Roman pig of lead" was found there. Not sure if that is literally a pig or if it is terminology of some kind.

JoeyGrey

Forgive me for rambling on, but there is a cave at Carsington Pastures that was discovered by the Pegasus Caving Club - Pegasus was a winged horse.

(A fine way to travel and a creature?)

Thanks for the help!

I've still not found anything that fits the clues, but read some really interesting stuff on wind farms!! :rotfl: :rotfl:

Does everyone think it's got to be something really obvious that we're missing and that when we find out we'll be kicking ourselves for not thinking it earlier?

I keep reading it, as if it's just going to jump out at me! I'm thinking of using a thesaurus and writing out a list of alternative words for all of the sentence, just to see if anything else makes sense that we haven't thought of between us yet!

Welcome satin man and JoeyGrey - a fresh mind is always welcome.

As someone said before, once you get into a particular mindset, its hard to think a different way and my mind is still thinking of Youlgreave. You're soon to translates to you'll and greave is grieve (a great source of pain). I can't get out of that mindset.

I have however got nowhere. I've been looking out for pubs or streets with horse names, such as Packhorse Street, White Horse Inn etc., but have got nowhere. I've also been looking at the other names for Youlgreave, i.e. Youlgrave and Pommie, but I am still getting absolutely nowhere.

If Ambergate is the source, there is apub in ambergate called Hurt Arms hotel and its on the turnpike road if this is a fine way to travel it goes to matlock.

I found a visual thesaurus (it only lets you do so many searches before it wants you to pay), and I searched source and one of the words that came up was reservoir! So could it mean 'great reservoir of pain' or something like that?

*is really clutching at straws now*

JoeyGrey

I asked Google for the history of the reservoir - here it is.

Apparently woolly rhinos used to live in the area, and Time Team filmed when the Pegasus Caving Club explored the nearby cave.

Far too many animals involved!
