    I did the Pennine Way in the summer and I remember climbing over Shitlington Crags on the way to Shitlington Hall.

    Stonebridge (Warwickshire) - because it just reminds me of that silly sketch "Stoney bridge, where the bridges are stoney" ... don't even know what it's from.

    Barnsley - Always makes me smile when I see it on a road sign because I know I'm nearly there!

    Ecclefechan used to make me smile, until I got cramp while riding down to Barnsley on my old CBR600, by the time I'd arrived it had turned in to a muscle strain. Fecking Ecclefechan.

    Many will be familiar with the Derbyshire village of Flash, but while walking from Hen Cloud towards it I encountered a sign for Flash Bottom, which is a farm below the village.

    I'm fairly sure I passed through a place called Hell in the Czech Republic.

    A couple of lakes in Yukon, Canada called Snafu Lake and Fubar Lake - both probably named by the soldiers that built the road passing them.

    Isn't there a Tea Pot Corner on Tin Pot Lane (or something very similar) up at Clayton, between Thurnscoe and Hooton Pagnell?

    Six Mile Bottom (so a matter of size) near Cambridge. Nowhere - Norfolk. Piddletrenthide - Dorset. Some names of the various Dorset 'Piddles,' named after the river of the same name, were altered before the visit of Queen Victoria, eg Piddletown became Puddletown etc. Rest and be Thankful - Scotland.
