Game: Where-is-it? (international)

[GregR]

well 2 days with no guess's makes me think either you have killed the game or it's time for a clue!!

I'll just throw Makalu out there so we can start narrowing this down.

[wobbly]

Fair enough I don't want to narrow it down too much so Everest region is right but that's not Makalu.

[GregR]

Tobuche or Cholatse. They both come up with nearly 8identical photos to yours.

[wobbly]

Yes Greg, Cholatse on the left and Tobuche on the right but where am i standing?

[Graham51]

With the angle and height, maybe you were at Nangkartshang Gompa?

[wobbly]

No Graham I'm not there. This is not the only game pic posted from this spot all be it in a different direction.

[GregR]

I have no idea so I'll guess Luri Peak.

[wobbly]

I'm sorry this has proved so hard I thought it would be easy even if i did crop an obvious/giveaway feature. Both Gs have post pics from near or at this spot.

Some maps show Cholatse as Arakam Tse if that helps.

[GregR]

I wouldn't have thought this but I just found an almost identical pic claiming to be taken from Gokyo Ri. Appears you cropped the blue lake out.

As I never made it there I wouldn't really have a clue.

[wobbly]

Hi Greg
Yes its Goyko Ri.
I'll get back in my box now.

[GregR]

Thanks wobbly.

hope your enjoying your box. I'm currently locked down in a cage, so a box sounds somewhat pleasant by comparison.

Turns out I had similar pictures of those 2 mountains taken from the ridge above Macchermo last year in -15C and wind running at about 110kts. coldest I've ever been. Must have shut the mountains out of mind ...

Anyway, lets get to something easier just for a change of pace.

this ones also i9n ASIA- who would have guessed.

Taken from my bedroom window last year early in the morning. The subjects are obvious but where was I.
Room number optional.

[icefest]

you are in nepal?

[keithj]

Tengboche.
Not sure where you were, but my wife was mostly in that bakery.

[GregR]

KeithJ is the winner.

I was in the Tengboche Tea House staring down the Khumbu valley at Everest and Lhotse being lit up in gold by the morning sun. Sadly the bakery was closed due to winter lack of crowds - I would have spent time in there too had it been open.

sorry to Icefest- yes Nepal but Keith is spot on.

[keithj]

Easy one from NZ

Moeraki boulders

[GregR]

Moeraki boulders is my guess.

[keithj]

Correct - back to you Greg

[GregR]

Thanks Keith,

Lets go back to the old dart eh wot ole chap.

Name the bird scaring hill in the photo....

[ribuck]

Hawkshead?

[GregR]

No not Hawkshead.

More like responsible pet ownership 4 legged bird scary.

[ribuck]

Of course, it's Catbells. Even looks like it.

[GregR]

Of course, it's Catbells. Even looks like it.

well, to be fair, what else can Catbells look like but itself?

So Mr Ribuck has the floor.

[ribuck]

well, to be fair, what else can Catbells look like but itself?

Well, I was previously trying to make it look like Hawkshead

Anyway, this one is also in the UK. The summit is just behind me; you can name that summit or anything that's in view.

[north-north-west]

OK. The walker looks like a Jenny.

[GregR]

Have you decided to go a ways past Catbells to High spy and look at Great Gable and Scafell Pike. Why is the person running from you?

[ribuck]

The walker looks like a Jenny.

The walker's sister is actually a Jenny, not that it will help you much.

Have you decided to go a ways past Catbells to High spy and look at Great Gable and Scafell Pike.

Nope! It's not in England.

Why is the person running from you?

We occasionally broke into a run on the downhill bits, because we were doing a 46km day. Our route was coast-to-coast.

The biggest cliffhanger of the week has been resolved.

Thanks NNW for making my weekend.

[GregR]

I'll bite. You have just left the summit of Glyder Fawr in Wales.

[ribuck]

You have just left the summit of Glyder Fawr in Wales.

No, but we were not far away.

[GregR]

I originally thought the top of Snowdon and changed my mind, so in utter covid lockdown desperation ( normally called boredom) I'll go backwards and submit Snowdon.
