Turkey?

[BlodwynPig]

Turkey?

1 point. Hazard a guess for the city?

[:(]

Ankara

[BlodwynPig]

Ankara

No. There is a clue in the picture. Remember this a random pin drop, so the city is probably somewhere you've never heard of.

[Fishfinger]

It's clearly Ünye.

[BlodwynPig]

It's clearly Ünye.

Plus 5 points for you.

Over to Chveik or You for the next one.

[Fishfinger]

Not me then. I won the game. Goodbye forever.

This was a right pain in the arse on the iPad. Hope it is appreciated.

[BlodwynPig]

Interesting, landscape looks like Scotland or Iceland, egur? could be Iceland if google maps has English alphabet.

I'll go for Ryggen, Sweden

[Ferris]

Right logic, wrong country.

Edit: but +1 for identifying Iceland.

Think there's something wrong with your keyboard there mate, got all lines on the letters and that.

(Nope, but close)

[BlodwynPig]

Varmahlíð? Junction of Highway 1? The name of Highway 75 doesn't end with egur.

what is this scoring system?

It's 5 for city/town/hamlet, 1 for country, so +6 (unless you knock some points off for incorrect guesses).

That's Tyumen, to the rest of you. It is the only large(ish) town in the oblast. Close?

Smart indeed, its actually just along the road in Pyshma, so you get the points.
