    Ah, I copy/pasted an earlier version of the quiz wrongly from Word on to page 1 after accidentally deleting the post. So I corrected the clue on page 2.
    I have now corrected both.

    Yes, you are right. It is Olano.

    Josef Planckaert?

    Was that 7 day sin total or 7 days on the trot?

    No dry dashing or whatever it was called was necessary in the end
