Wow, shocked with that - hat was just a guess!

Well done everyone, have a great weekend and see you with some answers on Monday!

[pgn]

Well that was a good quiz, all thinkers! Well done all, and thanks @Mi-Amigo 

Btw, Q8, had it not been qualified, was going to get a couple of trout thrown at it 🤣

[TallTrees]

Thank you @Mi-Amigo 

Not too bad ~ Motorway one was difficult for me as I know the M62 very well especially in a snow storm! Coming from Manchester got turned round and sent back!  It can be very windy and this was a blizzard.  Thought Leeds was nearer.  Anyway thanks for the quiz and for taking the time to mark my answers.

Well done everyone 

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @BobM @MI5 @Cleoriff @gmarkj  @pgn @TallTrees 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards.

Thanks also to @pgn for the info on fish called Dolly Varden - one to put in my files for potential future WRQ quiz question.

Thanks @Mi-Amigo and well done everyone!
