Where am I?

There's enough room for the groom on Chrome. Boom, boom!

You had just strayed out of Staffordshire over the Dove into Derbyshire to take that photograph.

Were you asked for your papers?

Lliwedd

I would have thought Bwlch y Saethau, on the ridge between Lliwedd and Yr Wyddfa, based on the apparent altitude of the viewpoint and the angle towards the Crib Goch ridge.

I'm gonna go for the very top of the Watkin Path, where it first reaches the Lliwedd-Snowdon ridge... so slightly west of Llani's suggestion, and slightly east of Anthony's....

Tee up the obvious wrong answer claxon. I am going for the summit of Yr Wyddfa.

(Call this the Alan Davies ala QI answer)

Hmm, without accessing a map, I’ve an inkling for the Carneddau possibly The one you have to go out and back on after the 3000s? (Name has slipped me)

You mean Yr Elen. I've been struggling to reconcile Marco's picture with the pictures here https://www.geograph.org.uk/of/yr+elen , but there are some similarities.

Yr Elen - but having looked at the map and picture, I’m more inclined to think Yr Aran, south of Snowdon

Very easy one Clisham the highest hill on the Isle of Harris.

Agree with that. You beat me to the post. From the layby on the road. Bit of a flog, but gets better as you get higher. Fantastic views from the summit. I'm sad that when I climbed it my time was limited and I couldn't complete the horseshoe.

I spotted the telegraph wires in your first photo, Marco, which threw me. I was looking in Wales :rolleyes:.

I ticked An Cliseam in the early 80's but would never of recognised it. What I recall most about Harris and Benbecula was that from high ground you could see so many Lochans glimmering in the sun. Fantastic.

And there's a very big clue on the photo for those of you who've never seen it but have sharp eyes

Had I known that you earned a extra brownie point for the lay-by I would of said, but it is fairly obvious for those of us that have been there were the photo was taken from. And the views from the summit are fantastic to so is the horseshoe. I had a brilliant day for my run around the horseshoe with the Eagles following me for quite a while.

Can't seem to rotate this photo of a trig and to be honest it's taken me 15 mins just to get it into a bloomin' post!!! Grrrh

If you can enlarge on the 'hills' in the background, you'd get to see how the highest one is unique in the list of hills of that elevation... ;)

For some reason, this reminds me of Raasay (looking east to the mainland, not west to Skye). The trig point would then be Dun Caan. But I have no idea what Mossdog's cryptic clue means, and I'm fairly sure that I'm wrong, anyway.

Good guess Anthony, and you're broadly in the right part of the world (Scotland - west coast), but not there yet. Sorry about the cryptic effort. What I should have said is that the 'hill' is a munro, and has a unique quality amongst those listed.

Same trig - different direction and different range of hills - Corbetts. Bit of a giveaway now.. ;)

Still no takers, eh! OK, the first photo shows Ben More on Mull, which is the only island Munro outside of Skye.The second photo shows a range of hills George Orwell would have seen regularly when he was resident of that island.

I recognised Jura even before I read the Orwell clue. So with a view to both Mull and Jura, you are on Carnan Eoin, the highest point of Colonsay.

YAAY! Well done Anthony. Virtual prize goes to you. I have to admit that if I'd never been to Mull or Colonsay I'd not have got it.

Carnan Eoin was part of my 'fell run' several times while on the island.

Has everyone been writing their answers down ready to submit on xmas day in the Striding Edge website quiz???
