Re: County Gallery (Originals Only)
Here's my submission for Dorset, the driveway of my retired friends in Highcliffe from my fence repairing trip in May:

Re: County Gallery (Originals Only)
lets not fudge it with a double post. No draws. This is a penalty shoot-out!

Are you not allowing my Lanarkshire claim?

You are going to have to take a route through your claimed Counties when you head north Mick, and avoid Leicester .mickthemaverick wrote: ↑23 Nov 2020, 18:28 Can't let Gloucestershire lose so here's Newnham on Severn clocktower:
We still need to find an original picture of Leicestershire to complete the England map. Again there was a wedding we attended where pictures were taken, but I think I will be clutching at straws. We did stop off at Ashby de la Zouch once just because it had an unusual name. I think it was shut and I kerbed my wheels turning round.

I just realised that Pendine Sands is in Carmarthanshire so here's my picture of the Napier Bluebird on its 90th anniversary run:

Re: County Gallery (Originals Only)
So Englands last county still remaining unclaimed is Leicestershire
and Wales' last County to be Claimed in Brecknockshire
Original photos need to be found to put them out of their misery.
Map updated Regards Neil

Re: County Gallery (Originals Only)
This one is debateable as to whether it can be counted, as it is on the Isle of Wight (considered by the mainland to be part of Hampshire, but by the Islanders to be a separate part of the UK). The photo was taken from Brading Common, looking towards Ventnor and Shanklin.
