Slightly off topic (I've gone rural).

Looking on Google Earth at the area of Exmoor (SW UK) where I'm gigging tomorrow, I found these names within a mile of my destination:

Galloping Bottom Lane which leads into Windwhistle Lane. Then across the main road is Battin's Knap leading into Cording's Ball (both lanes too).
Nearby is Glassing's Rock Lane.

It's worth noting that they still retain their apostrophes - but that's a different issue.
