Yorkshire Quiz
Sean Emmott
wanted to go on an expedition to the Himalayas.
All the answers are place names in Yorkshire. All but one [number 50] can
be found on a normal road map.
I can provide the answers by email, not that anyone will need them, I'm
sure!

Ah, there _is_ a place called Glasshouses, is there? This was the name that
immediately sprang to mind but I couldn't find it on a map so I thought I
must be wrong.
>42. Pudsey
I'm kicking myself for not getting this one. I went through the list of all
the bears that I could think about but I forgot about dear old one-eyed
Pudsey Bear!

Ah yes. Not all that far from Number 45.
I've now whittled the list down to a "mere" 15 that I still haven't got:
1, 11, 15, 19, 20, 22, 26, 30, 31, 32, 34, 35, 37, 44, 47
Any chance of a few hints? I don't want the answers - I haven't thrown in
the towel... yet!
