Nicely done, credit added to the first post. Well done on going through the hardship of having to ride there again, it must have been tough to have to do that on such a lovely sunny day with no traffic.

A proper double innuendo there, but only one point  :neen:

Not so much a dodgy place name - but check out the UK's best pub sign. Guess you could make something out of 'The Giant Inn'  if you were inclined to. Also, just around the corner,  Piddle Lane - though you wouldn't want to in his state! Dorset lanes....just perfect for V Strom touring.

Can I claim this one please?
The town is in Eire, just inside the border in County Donegal. It is where the start/finish of the Wild Atlantic Way is.
Not sure if we're allowed them if not in England, Wales or Scotland.

Too good an opportunity to not record this one and it should be the whole UK anyway.

Credit added to first post.

I hope you enjoyed visiting Muff.

My first thought was, with the clear waters of The Atlantic and all the wrecks around that coast, the town could start a sub aqua/scuba club. But what to call it!!  :shrug:
