What's the story behind the 3 men in the boat and the rose in the original photo?

I'm afraid I don't know, I was hoping that someone on here might.
If I get chance in September I'll do my best to find out.

Butcher, baker, candlestick-maker - assuming it's a tub, not a boat?

Not quite - from Barsalloch Fort about 20km away on the other side of Luce Bay.

I will only accept the correct spelling of the place name/road sign at the end of the straight. Bonus points for the "meaning".

What's on the back of the bike? What model saddle?

O s**t this is bike related - I've transgressed, again

My eyes aren't as good as they were but I'd say that's cardboard on the back of the bike. Directions fo a bike ride?

30 hours without a reply? Is everyone wondering which Munro it is? Perhaps it isn't one. Great viewpoint and picture. Thanks!

Over 3000 ft, but you are evasive about it being a Munro, so I suspect it's not in Scotland.

Through the place and half way up the climb - white "Munro" still just visible

Salvatore has passed, a large number of times, between the rocky lump and the non-Munro!

Up or down?

Drws y Coed. "Door of the wood." The Munro is called Yr Wyddfa.

I'll post something else up in a little while.
