: Kvalvika beach, Lofoten (Moskensoya Island) Norway

167 views and no guesses. Clearly time for a clue. This next image was taken about 20 minutes further along the track. It's a well known beach in these parts and is a day walk destination in its own right - although we where on a 6 day jaunt. Name the beach or the location/area/region.

Two weeks is long enough so I will post a picture from my trip to Asia. Either name the Mountain I am on or the lakes in view.

That was quick - and correct.

I only recognize it because I've been researching (dreaming) for a future trip

Looks brilliant.

This one is in NZ...

Broke it again.

This valley is north-ish South Island.

by **Walk_fat boy_walk** » Sun 29 Oct, 2017 6:24 pm

Still broken.

The ridge I'm on has a boy's name and somewhere up in head of that valley is a pretty-coloured lake. There's a much bigger lake behind me.

David Saddle in the Nelson Lakes area?

Right NP, wrong valley and ridge (and looking upstream rather than down). This valley is more well-trodden than the D'Urville. David Saddle is hidden behind the snowy peaks in the top right.

by **L_Cham_67** » Mon 30 Oct, 2017 11:23 am

Travers Saddle perhaps?

by **Walk_fat boy_walk** » Mon 30 Oct, 2017 11:53 am

Right range. Keep going north. The "boy's name" applies to both the ridge being traversed and a peak on it (yes I know the same can be said for Travers, but you definitely don't get this view from Travers Saddle).

by **L_Cham_67** » Mon 30 Oct, 2017 1:00 pm

Hmmm well the only option that seems to match is Mt Cedric? Or is it Robert Ridge?
Mt Cedric would match the clue's about the lakes you gave, but Robert Ridge matches your most recent clue about a ridge and a peak (Mt Robert), but it's location on NZ Topo Maps doesn't really fit with the picture...
I'll go for somewhere around Mt Cedric.

by **Walk_fat boy_walk** » Mon 30 Oct, 2017 6:22 pm

Yep on Cedric Ridge, a bit below Mt. Cedric, looking up the Sabine valley to Mt Franklin and co.

I'd love to visit the Nelson Lakes area - it looks fantastic

Here's another one from New Zealand.

by **L_Cham_67** » Wed 01 Nov, 2017 6:36 am

Time for a clue methinks :wink:

Well, where I'm standing wouldn't have existed 1000 years ago, and that 'river' meeting the sea is actually an extremely thin channel between two islands.

by **L_Cham_67** » Thu 02 Nov, 2017 9:28 am

I'm very close to Auckland. In fact, you can catch a ferry to this place.

by **cajun** » Thu 02 Nov, 2017 11:48 am

With that clue I will hazard a guess at Whakanewha park on Waikehe island? I hope to visit there next year.

by **L_Cham_67** » Thu 02 Nov, 2017 12:16 pm

Not the right answer. There may be a speed limit sign and a small 'bach' (old holiday house) in the photo but as far as I'm aware, no one lives on this island.
And ignore that 1000 year old clue I wrote earlier, I've just done a bit more research and found that to not be correct.

by **Tyreless** » Thu 02 Nov, 2017 12:20 pm

I'm going to regret this, because I might have to try to find a photo, but based on the clue...

Rangitoto Island crossing to Moupatu Island.

You've got it Tyreless

Thanks L_Cham_67.

I've yet to visit the north island, but could this be Bridal Veil Falls (Waireinga) near Raglan, Waikato?

Yes, that's right!

Thanks Tyreless. I can see that I'm going to need many more trips to NZ. Staying in Aotearoa:

: Looking across the Tasman Glacier terminal lake, to the face and beyond - Aoraki/Mt Cook NP, Canterbury New Zealand

by **johnw** » Sun 05 Nov, 2017 9:16 am

The lake, ice, and one of the background peaks, have something in common.

by **eggs** » Sun 05 Nov, 2017 5:07 pm

Tasman

Yes eggs, Tasman Glacier and terminal lake. Mt Tasman is somewhere above.
