Yes, that enables a zero in on the area - but the tricky bit was where was I?

I knew you would ask that. More research is needed on my part to answer.

This is across the valley from the Matterhorna and involves a number of lakes...

Times up - Ding.
The nod goes to sandym for Matterhorn.
The track I was on was the 5 lakes track to Sunnega, but we took a short cut and only passed 3 of them.
The lake in view was Grindjisee

Been years, nay decades, but could you be in Tongariro? Perhaps on the Tongariro crossing track?

Not on the Tongariro crossing - but you have the right area.

Correct Ribuck.
There was still a lot of snow & ice around - and a whiff of steam off the lake.

Very impressive, GregR. Saint Dwynwen is the Welsh saint of lovers, and these buildings are on Llanddwyn Island, where pilgrims seek love.

At low tide the island is connected to Anglesey by a sand spit. Its other name is Enid Blyton Island, because every corner of the island offers interest and adventure for children.

Hmm - looking out over an airport - the big campsite is probably the luxury hotel my wife stayed in while we went up to Mueller Hut.
Red Tarns would be on the opposite side slopes, but I cannot see any tracks on the map on the tip of the Mt Cook Range, but that is where you appear to be?

I might try doing a Bradbury from eggs' good work. I'll propose Mt Wakefield, which appears to fit.
The nearest I went to climbing it was having a look from the Hooker Valley track, but I believe a handful do go up there, including some guided trips.

Yes, Mt Wakefield, a steep & slightly scrubby climb to get to the ridge, then excellent ridge track far from the crowds below.
