Clue 4
I left the M25 at junction 15 for the M4 and settled in for a long journey - I'd be in a different country by the time I got to my destination!

Clue 5
I travelled past Cardiff towards my final destination. Where am I, and where have I hidden the bonus points?

Evening everyone
Sorry for the delay with the results. Well done to.... well, most of you, who scored the maximum 5 points this week. As such, there's no change to the top of the table, which now looks like this:
1. Hatter in Macc 21 2. Archie 20 3. Epworth 18 4. Market Harborough 16 5= BBLW 15 Calliope 15 7= Bradninch 14 Down Under 14 9. Shropshire 13 10. Gazza 5 11. Sir Roger 2
And those of you who scored 5 points will also have worked out that Week 5 is in fact the finale of this quiz as the 5 postcodes gathered so far throughout the quiz - TS, WD, E, NR and SA will, when re-arranged, spell out St Andrews. And that's where the bonus points were hidden.
Amazingly, one Heavener did get this correct on the very first day (Monday Week 1) despite getting that week's team incorrect.
And that person was Archie, who scores the maximum 10 points.
As such, no one can now beat Archie, but Maccy could make it a tie if he came next with 9 points.... but did he?
Yes, he did. Here's the final table:
1= Archie 30 Hatter in Macc 30 3. BBLW 23 4. Epworth 22 5. Down Under 21 6. Calliope 20 7= Market Harborough 19 Shropshire 19 9. Bradninch 16 10. Gazza 6 11. Sir Roger 2
I'm happy to leave this as our first ever tied quiz, with Archie and Maccy sharing the spoils, but if everyone would prefer to have a stand alone winner I'm happy to set a tie-break question. I'll go with the majority.
I'll be taking a break from the quiz this week as I'll be in and out of the hospital sadly, but hopefully Quiz 64 will be back, bigger than ever, a week on Monday.
Thanks for taking part everyone.

Well done archie and macc, very impressive.
No rush for the next one, sandy, family comes first.
It also allows everyone more time to get their entries in on the World Cup prediction game. Must be stuck in a queue or something...

Excellent stuff, thanks for the update and quiz Sandy (given the pressure you are under at home).
I'll settle for 3rd (having forgotten to enter the last week until Friday and throwing 4 points away !!!). well done Archie and Macca.

A fantastic effort, archie! Hope you've got a cabinet big enough to hold the three trophies you currently have in your possession  |

Having got St Andrews so early, I also worked out early doors that Swansea would have to be included at some stage so, unless there was a good reason not to, I tended to have it as my Monday choice. Sods Law that it was the last venue.
Assuming Macca agrees, I'm quite happy to go with the tie, Sandy. You've got quite enough on at the moment. Thanks for finding the time to see this one through.

Only just back from holiday, but delighted to be greeted with a trophy - or, at least, a half-share in one - on my return!
Mutual congratulations, Archie. And very many thanks to Sandy for seeing us through a great quiz - especially at such a demanding time back home.
