The "guess the place" thread

Reigate Hill?

[Tim Hall]

Isn't it in the grounds of the Royal Alexandra and Albert School?

that would figure being East of the FNRTTC

Gatton Park

Ever so just outside.  If no one else had guessed, I'd have given it to you for that.  However, it is certainly in

Gatton Park

So, on balance, it has to go to TT, I'm afraid.

Looks a little like the view from Pendle Hill

Is it a view of Lakeland fells from somewhere in the Eden Valley (Cross Fell-ish), with Blencathra on the right hand side of the photo?

[Tourist Tony]

It looks very like the view from the car park of the Hartside Inn

[tonyh]

It's going to need a complete list of all the visible Fells...

Magnificently spacious.

It's further down the road from Penrith, there are a couple of good viewpoints, it would have been good to do a Panorama but the camera had a max zoom of 4.5 and a UV filter would have helped.

Looking towards Perth ?

[eck]

Wasn't meant to be that easy. 
Right enough though, looking towards Perth from the Kinnoul Hill road, with the Friarton Bridge carrying the M90 over the Silvery Tay.

[Rig of Jarkness]

Yay !  The first time I've ever got one of these right without the benefit of someone else having provided the answer already 

[Bluebottle]

The Tay, the Tay,
Flows from Dundee to Perth and back
twice every day.


I have a similar photo someplace (minus bike and focus).

[Tourist Tony]

I will throw another into the mix...

No takers?

The Tayside Transgression was the last time I was over this road. Thats a grand day out.

Stab in the dark: An old border between east & west Europe taken on your summer '09 cycling trip?

Totally natural!

a volcanic dike?

Somewhere in the Auvergne?

[Tourist Tony]

Definitely NOT volcanic. And not in France.

[αdαmsκι]

Definitely NOT volcanic.

It looks very much like some sort of limestone.

[Salvatore]

I'm wondering if it's somewhere German-speaking, on the flimsy basis that the first word or the sign begins 'Be-'  Betreten? and the second begins wit 'T'. 'Betreten der Treppe auf eigene Gefahr', for example (coveniently ignoring 'ele-' on the third line - 'elektrische'?).

Somewhere in Austria?

[Tourist Tony]

Adamski, look at the groove along the rock for a clue as to what sort of limestone it is. Salvatore, not Austria, no.
