No rush, I should have written the ones I did down somewhere so I didn't forget which were done!

A trio of bottoms today with myself, Cheryl and Rochdale Hornet (!) going looking for dodgy place names. Apologies for the picture quality. Getting a decent shot wasn't easy. No sniggering in the cheap seats...

Below we have Wham Bottom Lane...


Slack Bottom...


And finally Ramsbottom...


A fine day it was for bottom spotting! :)

It may not be the same one. The pic I took was at Healey Corner near Whitworth.

All Done.

Some of them took some finding (Please state where they are!)

650XT Pete - First one in Wales  :clap: :clap: :clap:

tallpaul - Where is Slack Bottom and I will add that one too. Could only find one in Bradford and it isn't that one.

Barbel Mick - You seem to be taking over! - Well Done :)

Slack Bottom is near Heptonstall in West Yorkshire. Slack Top is on the map. For some reason Slack Bottom isn't as well publicised!

Found this village just off the A5 between Shrewsbury and Oswestry. The Village shop seemed to sell everything except the thing that the name implied :icon_wink:(only those of you of a certain age will get this). Couldn't get the bike next to the Village sign so this will have to do, hope it can be added to the list. Place is called Knockin and this is The Knockin Shop!
