I’ve had a boat hire added by Hampton Court for the same reasons so makes no sense :confused:

In the same way that on my way home home I’ll see 20 memorial benches that are temporary with no significance except to the family and friends of John Smith dearly beloved etc etc

I mean, tell me if there’s more I can do… we have tried so many times, and I really do think its eligible as a good place to explore and socialise

I’ve also had the odd “no pedestrian access” which is funny since people actually live on the island, there’s this business, and 2 other clubs, and theres a free ferry service, which I mention in the submissions too :roll_eyes:

Good to know others have had this kind of business accepted. I love being on the river, and a boat trip sounds great fun to me.

Guess I do have another appeal, could work through all 5 rejections of this place :sweat_smile:

No, some are better than others so I may try 1 more and see if I can get it through

Theyre all worded a little differently and I have one where the sun is out! Yay

Actually. I see the difference
You took a picture of a sign.

Try one of the sign?

There isnt a good one, sadly. They put a movable one out in peak season, but it just says CBS Boat Hire and the price list. I tried that first :sweat_smile:

Hold on…

Henry’s Lions

Guarding Frys Island since 1163

Two historic lion sculptures on an island where Robert De Montfort and Henry of Essex fought in a trial by combat. Each Lion symbolises the participant.

Lmao, I had a friend who tried the lions a few years back :joy_cat:

Say there was a third one and that’s where the three lions originated from :grin:

As long as nobody from @niantic reads this it will be fine.

@frealafgb did you ever mentioned that this is the only business on this island?

No, I mentioned the clubs but not directly that this is the only business.

I’ve now appealed another submission of this waypoint, lets hope a picture with some sunshine and an updated appeal makes all the difference!

Once Im down there again I will try to take new pictures and see what else I can do to showcase it

I hope you’ll find a graffiti, mural or cross :hugs:

You must be really frustrated

I think that is the “wedding bench”. Every year students bring their girlfriend to this bench to ask the question of all questions. Without this bench maaaaany couples would never exist!

Today I got an enligthenment :bulb:

Scenic viewpoints, trailmarkes, great to explore/exercise, but often represented by generic stuff → get rejected = nominator sad, niantic map not as good as it could be :disappointed_relieved:

Now my mind seems to want an outdoor day and jump out of the box:
perhaps the main photo and the supporting photo can change there places and descriptions.
Descripe a part of the park / section of the trail and support it (make it recognizable) with one of this generic benches/markers.
