APG - that just gets '403 Forbidden'

I thought the same when I read the prize! Why are the grotty places always the easiest to solve, the lovely places on't'Continent are usually much harder?

This should work.

Back in the day, this competition used to have great prizes: long weekend in Rome, Lisbon, Stockholm, Barcelona; a week in Portugal or Italy and so on. Alas, no longer.

I get the initials of the dry valley to be GRD

I wouldn't mind staying there, only 40 minutes from Beamish Museum, 40 minutes to Durham, and surrounded by fabulous walking/hiking countryside.
Food looks good, too

Barry - Its not as nice as it sounds. Not as good as it looks. Its gone downhill since covid. We used to stop off there for a drink sometimes on a Sunday, very expensive, but caters for Tourists. Last time we went the foyer smelt of stale beer and wee.
