Well, it's clearly the world's largest cludgie ...

I'm guessing its claim to fame is that its the remotest public toilet in the world?

I think i've seen that picture before.. is it the loo with the best view in the world, at everest basecamp?

Salvatore · « **Reply #1728 on:** 24 February, 2009, 09:29:30 am »

I can vouch for the fantastic view, but it's not Everest basecamp. Different continent.

And I doubt if it's the remotest.

clarion · « **Reply #1729 on:** 24 February, 2009, 09:32:00 am »

The highest then, up in the Andes?

The claim to fame has to do with its height, but wrong continent again.

Tanzania? kilimanjaro?

Right continent. Wrong country.

Total guess: Danakil Depression, Ethiopia. Africa's lowest karzi?

Salvatore · « **Reply #1734 on:** 24 February, 2009, 03:15:47 pm »

No and No. I don't think the glaciers are that big in the Danakil.

Mt Kenya, then?

Difficult to tell it's a glacier from this angle. I've seen rocks that look much the same in DETH Valley

Salvatore · « **Reply #1737 on:** 24 February, 2009, 03:31:53 pm »

Yes, Mt Kenya. Top Hut aka Austrian Hut in the background, and Lewis Glacier.

The highest khazy in Africa. At 4790m asl, higher than any similar facility on Kili. Or so they say. And the view really is breathtaking (although despite the altitude, breathing too deeply is not recommended in the immediate vicinity).

I am trying to remember where a particular head is, which has a remarkably long drop. Straight down a cliff.

Skipton Castle has one like that, but it's no longer in use on account of the canal at the bottom of the cliff...

The ones at Barafu Camp on Kili are a bit scary like that.

guess the hills from todays walk with Mrs Mike:

and yes, the weather turned on the walk home:

tonyh · « **Reply #1742 on:** 04 March, 2009, 07:25:24 pm »

That looks like a Tarn.

Deano · « **Reply #1743 on:** 04 March, 2009, 10:40:38 pm »

Easdale Tarn. Isn't it?

Indeed it was.
It's a nice scramble up the sort-of-waterfall to get up towards the view over Stickle.

mike · « **Reply #1747 on:** 10 March, 2009, 09:25:02 pm »

righto then tarn spotters, how about this one?

tonyh · « **Reply #1748 on:** 10 March, 2009, 09:39:16 pm »

At a wild guess... in the Eastern Fells perhaps?

Angle Tarn, Patterdale?
