How Good Is Your Geographic? [5]

wild guess, 57 ?

(I have been to the Lake District on my only ever trip to the UK, so I should know better )

[Starter]

How many lakes are in the Lake District?

supplementary:
How many boards would the Mongols hoard if the Mongol hordes got bored?

Which Lake District? There are several.

One?

I am going for the angle its a trick question. The other bodies of water are called something else.

most of the 'lakes' are not called lakes, they are called waters ot tarns. I think Steve is correct with 1 (Bassenthwaite Lake)

[steveaki13]

Ha. I thought I had heard that somewhere.

God, now the pressure of thinking of a question.

[steveaki13]

I don't have much time these days. so an easy one.

Which country has the oldest national flag still in use? (Bonus points if you know how old it is)

I was only agreeing with you mate, I didn't set the question, Rollo did

[steveaki13]

Sorry Anfield and Rollo. My bad.

If I am right, just take the flag question. As I wont be around for a while.

Sorry guys

The answer is one and it is Bassenthwaite Lake and because it has the same water lever all over and isn't intruded by seawater, it's also technically the only actual lake in the Lake District.
