Quiz: How well do you know the Channel Islands?

Post by tiger76 » Fri Sep 18, 2020 11:01 pm

I scored 5/15, and that was with a few guesses, but if you've visited these islands, you'll probably find it relatively easy.

I have visited the islands, and it isn't even relatively easy. I scored 2, which almost lower than it's possible to get bearing in mind that random guessing should get you 4.

The problem is firstly that the whole set of islands is very pretty in the same way across everywhere. All the views could be anywhere no any island. And secondly, all the place names are real. Few red herrings to avoid.

Nice place, though.

Scored 6 and that was with the benefit of a few guesses - I can confirm I don't know the Channel Islands very well at all.
