Game: Where-is-it? (international)

[eggs]

Anyone can post next

[eggs]

Ok - so maybe I will post another
From China

View south from under the large Buddha on Lantau Island in Hong Kong

[wobbly]

Tian Tan on Lantau

[eggs]

yes wobbly - under the large Buddha in Hong Kong

[wobbly]

Thanks Eggs
Next is from Far Western Europe

[johnw]

I haven't been there but let's try Goðafoss (waterfall of the gods) in Iceland

[wobbly]

Yes John
Godafoss is correct.
Over to you.

[johnw]

Thanks wobbly. This one from the USA will break the rules but shouldn't be too hard:

From the USS Arizona memorial - World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument, Pearl Harbour, Honolulu Hawaii USA

[GregR]

Would that be a sunken ship at pearl harbour by any chance???

[eggs]

I suspect there are actually 3 in the photo

I'm not sure if it's two or three eggs, I believe the Utah still lies there but I think the third one (Oklahoma) may have been raised. In any case we are on the USS Arizona memorial built over the still visible wreck, a very solemn experience. The USS Missouri is moored very close to it. I found Pearl Harbour a fascinating but melancholy place when you appreciate what happened there. Over to GregR.

[GregR]

Thanks Chaps.

Haven't been to pearl Harbour but dived a fair few WW2 wrecks in my time in Micronesia and PNG -both US and Japanese and it is a bit moving each time as you realise my bit of fun was many peoples horrific end.

Anyway back to the good old standby - The UK... where am I this time??

[ribuck]

Castlerigg Stone Circle, Lake District

[GregR]

We have winner!

All yours Ribuck

[ribuck]

Thanks! This one is in England...

[ribuck]

Looking in another direction...

[ribuck]

North West England, in case that helps narrow it down.

[GregR]

Swinside.

[ribuck]

You got it, GregR!

[GregR]

Well it’s time to move forward from the ancient stone circles to something more modern.

The UK again, where am I standing and what is the little hill across the valley?

I see that has come out upside down..I will try to rectify that.No idea how but.......

[GregR]

Let s see if this is better..

Seeing as we have had no guess's I'll drop a hint or 2

I have moved forward about 3000 years from the previous 2 stone circles and the hill across the valley is well known in England.

Edit: another day another day of nil guess's.

Massive hint time: Its not Hadrians Wall and the mountain is the biggest in the area. NW England. It NOT Hard folks.

[johnw]

Are you looking at Scafell Pike? No idea about the wall though.

[eggs]

You should be right with Scafell Pike - and I will be blowed! - we did not drop in on Hardknott Roman Fort - but that might just be it.
It was late in the day when I scared my daughter by driving over that pass.

[GregR]

Eggs is correct.

I said its "NOT hard" folks- Hardknott Fort built by the romans in the 2nd C AD as a back up to Hadrians wall. And yes that is Scafell across the Esk valley.

We actually drove past it on the way up as it is one the more "interesting" drives I have ever been on - mercifully beautiful day though. So focused on staying alive we missed it going up and only saw it after we turned around- and we were being taken there by locals!! Must be scrotally intimidating on a bad day.

So over to Eggs

[eggs]

Sorry guys - missed this.

Back to New Zealand - name the beach

[GregR]

Well Eggs

I think 3 days is long enough to ask for a hint..perhaps even GPS co-ordinates.

[johnw]

Tunnel Beach, Dunedin locality

[eggs]

Sorry. Forget this and been 70km on the Heysen. Tunnel Beach is correct.

[johnw]

Sorry. Forget this and been 70km on the Heysen. Tunnel Beach is correct.

You're forgiven eggs . 70km on the Heysen sounds a lot more interesting than what I've been doing all week.

Staying in NZ and breaking the rules somewhat. Should be very easy though:

Church of the Good Shepherd, Lake Tekapo - Mackenzie Basin, Canterbury New Zealand

[johnw]

The flock might need some positive guidance near the shore.
