Quiz Results

Back at the start of April Jo Prowse set us a quiz, which can be found here

We can now reveal the winners:

Christine Bell
Phyllida Oates
Michael Rooze
Winn Clements
Keith Parker
Hanneke Dye

All respondents showed a breadth of local knowledge – botanical, historical, ornithological and geographical.  Burnsall bridge does look amazingly similar to Grassington bridge, especially when the photo had mysteriously been flipped left to right.

Thanks to all who entered.
