Armchair treasure hunt

[tpw536w]

Placenames around Lincolnshire. starting from Claythorpe;
1)It's time for a ramble so head SW
Acres of countryside, take a picnic and rest.
2) Move on South to historic remains you go
Once a grand old building warded off any foe.
( I thought this was going to be Lincoln castle but the directions do not lead you there)

Thanks for any help

Snipe Dales Nature reserve is south west of Claythorpe. There is a picnic area there. Old Bolingbroke is south of Snipe Dales and has a ruined castle. Then there is Tattershall Castle which is further west. Hope this helps.

Thanks Tigra Girl. Could I ask another please!
Starting at Gunby Hall.
1)Head North for a quarter of a hour
To discover where they grind different types of flour.
2) Old planes overhead set off from this base
By travelling SW you'll soon be at this place.

Thanks again

1) 15 minutes north of Gunby is Alford where there is a working windmill.
2) SW of Alford is RAF Coningsby which the base for the Dambuster memorial flight.

Tigra Girl you must live in Lincolnshire, you are so good at these.
I need a place by the sea where Bombers and Seals just love to be.

( I can't find a place where seals and bombers could be together)
Thanks so much

[Tigra Girl]

Yes I do live in Lincolnshire. The answer to this one is Donna Nook. It is a bombing range and famous for grey seals.

Last one I hope!
Starting at Skegness
1)Winging our way going NNE
Fly up high when the tow is released.
2)Race NNW to watch the start
Make a bit of money if you are smart.
3)Run ESE at a different pace
Where model cars you can race.

I think I have the last one but want some one to confirm it, and how can you go NNE from Skegness?

Thanks so much

[Tigra Girl]

1) I think this may be Strubby Airfield which I beleive is the home of the Lincolnshire Gliding Club
2) Market Rasen, which has a Race Course.
3) Could this be Cadwell Park? They have kart racing here although it is more known for motorbike racing.
What answer do you have?

[tpw536w]

Don't laugh but I put Mumby, there is a model car racing circuit there I read somewhere.

[Tigra Girl]

You could be right there is a model car museum at Mumby

Tigra Girl, may I ask from Donna Point,
SSE , not an isle one has to agree
But makes holidaymakers smile with glee.

Thanks so much for all your help.

Sandilands? - Not sure on this one but will keep trying

[Tigra Girl]

Sory I have been so long getting back to you. The answer is Fantasy Island, Ingolmells.

[Tigra Girl]

Tahts should be Ingoldmells
