Tried it but far too fast for me! Even first choosing all the counties I knew for certain, I still only got halfway through before being timed out!

I don't know any of the southern counties. I got all of the ones in Wales and north of Greater London, though.

I think you lose points for every one you get wrong.

This was way too hard for me - I got the West country fairly well - Cornwall, Devon, Dorset... I managed the South East coast not too bad - Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk... and some of the North, but all in all - Whew!
It was also a bit picky - you had to be pointing with your arrow exactly where you wanted, or it wouldn't take it - some ones that I was SURE of, took two or three tries before they worked.
There were some counties there I had never even heard of, much less knew where they were.

Well I know nearly all of the counties of England. I had to learn them at school. I got about 4 correct on this stupid site because it won't acknowledge your placement properly
I think it stinks as a site, so there!

Me too Sara, me too. I am glad that I am not the only person who had problems, I thought I was reasonably good on UK geography and was shamed by my obvious lack of knowledge. I feel beter now that I know it is the game and not me.
