I have a funny feeling I was standing beside you when you took this. So I'll leave this one. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifer Posted September 3, 2020 #377 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Has to be Scarborough. Of course, in those days Round Britain meant up the East and then down the West. I wonder if that pattern will return? Up and down the Irish Sea is not nearly as interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray66 Posted September 3, 2020 #379 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Are we all up to date now with none left to solve? If so, try this: The big clue is the brown building to the left of the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you are right. It was Southampton, Newcastle, Queensferry, Greenock, Liverpool and back to Southampton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Bluemarble, it's Oslo but not the usual Cunard dock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Southampton, Newcastle, Queensferry, Greenock, Liverpool and back to Southampton. We did an early QE one which called at Edinburgh, Invergordon, Greenock, Liverpool, Dublin and Cork. We had a connection with every port and had a wonderful time - and drank rather too much, rather too often. Liverpool was a maiden call and we had a service in the cathedral, complete with Lesley Garrett, Simon Weston and the Band of the Welsh Guards. Memorable!

They do a good service / concert at the Cathedral. I have been to two QE2's 40th and Cunard 175th both very memorable and moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanky Lad Posted September 3, 2020 #391 Share Posted September 3, 2020 If you have been to this port, I would expect you will know this glass wall. But the cruise lines have fallen out with this European City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
