Mick has busted so many of those green "Awaiting Pictures" boxes since the challenge started.

In fact 3 more boxes bit the dust today, thanks to Mick.

Thanks but stop it, going red with embarrassment !! The reason they are new is that no one in their right mind wants to live in this wasteland.  I am in a one horse town, and thats lame.  Next week I hope to go green square hunting.  Well it keeps me off the streets,  thinking about it no it does not.

You're doing a good job Mick and as I said before you got a damn good eye for cottages, wasteland or not. Come to Hull mate, we got a bridge, albeit very expensive, and a marina and thats about it. The best thing about Hull....the A63 westbound....eventually takes us to Ambleside and the Lakes

If your pix are any indication of what a wasteland is, Mick, I'll be happy to live in a wasteland.

Vince has busted the last town/village in Surrey with an Awaiting Pictures Box - so Surrey is now completely covered.  Congratulations Vince.

However, there are a few Surrey attractions which seem to need pictures.  Can anyone help?

Gatwick Zoo (would have thought this was Sussex!); Greathed Manor; Horton Country Park; Lightwater Country Park; Shere Museum; The Homewood (their actually pics for this and Chris/Sarah will reallocate when they have a chance) and The Whitley Centre.  That makes only 7 green boxes to be busted in Surrey.
