Don't see any major issues with the last clue. It was clear SPV wasn't unique but the response was. Anyway...

RM was spotted at the top first but didn't win.

Is it Robert Millar who became King of the mountains in one Tour de France, but came 4th overall? King of the Mountains shirt is spotted.

Clearly more cycling fans on here that I thought, so maybe not the hardest. Still trying to get the right balance on clues.

Let's say that Sgurr wins the Souvenir Henri Desgranges and you get 1pt for a Cat. 4 climb. Fair? :wink:

I was a very keen touring cyclist when daughter was still at home....we did Lejog at 14 & 41, and said we would do it again next time our ages were reversed. She had an excuse at 25/52 (pregnant) and 36/63 (pregnant again) and cried off at 47/74 on the grounds of being "knackered with 4 kids still at home". Realistically 58/85 is probably off as she will claim "4 dogs" That's why I hardly joined husband on hills at all until I was a granny. (only 22 Munros)

HD was known as the UK

Henry Dundas was known as the Uncrowned King?

Really, really should get some work done today :roll: .

Somewhat apt, MSS, a bit spooky but you'll be back soon enough.

No. Is that another name for Scotland Street School...or a bit of a speculative stab :D?

It was designed by Macintosh, and is allegedly haunted, so a bit of a stab that it had another name locally.

No, sorry.

A certain type of person returns more frequently....and the occasional person a little worse for wear I presume.

No longer formally exists, replaced by P(S).
