Hello everyone!

 

To follow suit with the O2 Community's Summer 2022 event, I've come up with a rather tricky British Beaches Word Scramble. I say tricky because I've included some not-so-famous beaches and, of course, there are plenty of Cornish and Welsh ones too. To unscramble them, you will need to figure out the name of the beach and the region or county where they are situated in, such as "Brighton - East Sussex".

Enough of introductions, let’s have some fun!

Well done @BobM on finding the last beach! Thanks @BobM,  @Cleoriff@pgn@Mi-Amigo and @TallTrees   for joining in!

It wasn't one of the easiest word scramble games but I had a lot of fun. Bit of a marathon this one, eh? Anyway, it was nice to think about all this beaches in a warm day like today 🏖

Thank you @RafaC for a great game.

Well done everyone who took part.

I think this is the hardest Word Scramble ever - and took the longest time to solve but was great fun 😁 .

You are correct @RafaC - not one of the easiest, very tough in fact with far too many Welsh beaches.   I reckon @lewys-gp had a hand in that before he left.

Well done everyone and thanks again for running it @RafaC - difficult but good fun.

@Mi-Amigo@BobM and @TallTrees pleased you enjoyed it. Sometimes it's nice to have a bit of a challenge 💪

You're not wrong, @BobM, on the week @lewys-gp left he sent me a link with the 10 most pretty Welsh beaches and that's where I got the idea for this word scramble 😊
