Game: Where-is-it? (international)

[ribuck]

Eggs has it correct - it's the Falls of Glomach, in Scotland as NNW suggested.

And keithj was spot-on to suggest the Cape Wrath Trail as the journey name. There's no signposting, no constructed trail, and not even a fixed route. You just get yourself from Fort William to Cape Wrath however you like, by connecting your choice of glens (valleys) and bealachs (passes).

The key to making this possible is that the land access laws in Scotland allow you to walk almost anywhere - and you can also camp almost anywhere along the way.

I walked the Cape Wrath Trail this northern summer in 18 days (with resupplies every 4 or 5 days), as part of my section-walk along the length and breadth of Scotland. The Cape Wrath Trail was easily the most amazing adventure I've had in the UK. I'm planning to do it again in 2023 by a different route - and not during the midge season this time

Over to eggs...

Lovely shot.
Can I just detect the top of Tahurangi Lodge on the LHS?
And is this on the Maketawa Track on the climb up Mt Taranaki ?

Lets stay in the land of One Tree Hills {NZ}

[eggs]

A volcanic landscape

[icefest]

Looks to be east of Chch

[eggs]

Yes...

[johnw]

Port Hills? They were actually on fire when we were visiting Christchurch, so couldn't go there.

[eggs]

Not the Port Hills.
I can go with the name of the town below in the photo

[johnw]

Akaroa?

[eggs]

Yes this is Akaroa harbour from near Stony Bay Peak

[johnw]

I'll remain with our cousins across the ditch:

Lake Matheson near Fox Glacier/Weheka township, Westland Tai Poutini NP, New Zealand

[icefest]

Lake Mapourika?

[johnw]

Lake Mapourika?

Not Lake Mapourika but you're in the general area.

[johnw]

Closer to one glacier than another.

[eggs]

Lake Matheson, and bonus - with a view!!

[johnw]

Lake Matheson, and bonus - with a view!!

Correct eggs. We were lucky with the weather the first 1 1/2 days we stayed in the area.
Managed this walk and both glaciers, then the heavens opened up with a vengeance.

[eggs]

Thanks John

Staying in NZ.

[GregG]

Cannibal Gorge maybe.

[eggs]

Not Cannibal Gorge.
The name of the river will suffice.
Big hint - this is a Great Walk.
And if I remember correctly they were working to put in a new bridge at this location.

[eggs]

Heading towards ....... Flats Hut / Campsite

[johnw]

Heading towards ....... Flats Hut / Campsite

Maybe Routeburn?

[eggs]

Yes. This is crossing the Routeburn River on day 1 of the Routeburn Track

[johnw]

Let's stay in NZ:

Franz Josef Glacier, Westland Tai Poutini NP, Franz Josef/Waiau New Zealand

[johnw]

I walked here but some chopper up top for a short icy stroll

[eggs]

Was it a walk to Hende's Hut?

[johnw]

Was it a walk to Hende's Hut?

No, but that's close enough. This was on the parallel valley floor walk. Hendes Hut is somewhere behind me over my left shoulder.
Angle and zoom is a bit confusing, the track rises to the view point approaching the terminal face of the glacier.
Merry Christmas eggs.
