I guess that we pretty much have a member from every County in England, or even members that are near the borders of more than one County, belonging to POE. 

Try entering the name of your home County in the top left Search box and scroll through the Cities, Towns, Villages and Attractions relating to that County - do you see any "Green boxes containing the words "Awaiting Photographs"?

So what is the Challenge?

The Challenge is to see if we can put a photograph (more than one preferably) in each of those "Awaiting Photograph" boxes, so that we end up with a picture for everywhere on POE.

Is anyone up for this Challenge?  Got nothing to do tomorrow?  Looking for somewhere different to go?  Why not have a fun day out and add to the images on POE and fill the gaps?

Wow! Vince - I think you are a magician but suspect it was up your sleeve, lol.  I look forward to seeing the pics and another "Awaiting Pictures" filled.  Great stuff, well done.

Anyone else up for the challenge??

Marjorie - if you are willing - here is one for you in Paignton - it is Compton Castle!  Which is a National Trust property.

        Hi Cathyml, afraid the above centre is quite away from me here, not a place I have come across before either. It is getting onto the border with Hampshire.

      As a footnote just a bit further down the A3 at Hindhead ( where the famous Devil's Punchbowl can be found) the new tunnel is nearing completion. Hindhead has long been a bottleneck on the A3 , and once the tunnel is opened in the summer I think the A3 will be dual -carriage from London to Portsmouth. The other weekend an organised walk through the tunnel took place but for ticket holders only of which only a fraction of those who wanted tickets were able to go due to high demand.

Oh Cathy, I'd give anything to make that 4000 mile trip at this moment and take as many pics as you wanted! It's just not possible right now. Frown

Wish I could too Cathy, it would be wonderful! 

I do hope the members who can get the the places "Awaiting Pictures" will take up the challenge and show us what we are missing.
