The llyn is indeed a lochan. Not to be confused with a Lynn being a Lachlan, which is a whole other thread.Quote:

This is plagiarising my seldom visited trigs thread. My legal team will be in touch.
As people seem to be a bit stumped on this (or perhaps just don't care!)..... i'll give a clue.Quote:

Castle Crag 249159? IÂ’d thought Eagle Crag maybe in the distance. Good pic!Quote:

I should add that those slates were "as seen" and I didn't put them in that position.
I've got a toughie to post up, but will have to do it tomorrow when I'm on the pc...
It’s a fair cop, though you might find its trig-centric, non-inclusive conditions are in breach of human rights legislation, should the matter reach court.Quote:

Are you in the Lairig Ghru?
Assuming this is directed at myself and not Hank...Quote:

My only other thought is Kintail.
I'll not give the answer just yet, in case anyone else fancies a go.
It's not Kintail, although you're getting warmer!
Looks a bit Assynt-like? Though couldn’t place that view. It’s a pass from me.
Final clues...
1) It's not on the mainland.
2) the fourth peak in the view (summit not seen) is the site of a hill-race with the record held by Finlay Wild...
So the grid ref is NG522248, in Coire nam Bruadaran. Were you on the way to Garbh-bheinn and Bla Bheinn?Quote:

I was actually on my way to Loch Coruisk, The Bad Step and Camasunary, having decided on a more adventurous start than Sligachan Hotel. I was to pay for this... as soon as i crested the col i was in the fiercest wind i'd ever encountered*, and it took me the best part of an hour to get from there down to the main Sligachan path.
One of the most memorable and stunning runs out i've ever had.
*that is, the fiercest wind i'd ever encountered until i hit the summit ridge of Glamaig a couple of days later, and had to crawl along the summit ridge from An Coileach.
As for Hank's brainteaser, my only guess is that it is somewhere to the west of the main Cairngorm summit massif? ie if you were heading from Glen Feshie towards the Cairngorm 4000's, it would be somewhere round there?
Excellent, exactly that! 913963 or thereabouts. About halfway across the Moine Mhor, doing the Cairngorm 4000s from Glen Feshie to Glenmore. Looking across the southern flank of Braeriach towards Angel's Peak and Cairn Toul. A cracking day out, though very hard going once out of Glen Feshie and across to Ben Macdui.Quote:

It's not a grid ref, but it is right!Quote:

No takers yet. Is this one on Skye again, or back on the Scottish mainland?Quote:

I'm stumped. Give us a clue.Quote:

Wow, i'm surprised this one has been so tough... i don't really think i can provide a clue without giving it away completely.
I can confirm it is in the Lake District, and is in fact on, or exceedingly close to, a Lakeland Classics race route...
Ennerdale?
Middle Fell, Yewbarrow, Gable, Limgmell, Scafells etc from somewhere near Tosh Tarn?
I thought something like this, particularly Yewbarrow second from left, but then Gable looks too isolated and Lingmell too low. It does look like there's likely to be a large lake in the middle out of shot.Quote:

But i suppose there's a slight possibility it was taken the day before, from a little further to the west, on the way to Buckbarrow.
OK: https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4954430 (a decent picture:p). I had thought that shape at the end of the dale looked like Great Gable, but I dismissed that because the foreground didn't fit with what I knew (which makes sense since I don't know Wasdale).
