I was going to say St Petersburg too, you rotters. It looks vaguely like the bit where they did the tank chase in that Bond James Bond film.

Dammit. You're all too good

Very difficult to set the level of obscurity just right, in this game. I haven't a clue about Andrew's rocky pass - not the Tunnel du Parpaillon? - looks a bit too bleak for that to me.

I liked the Malvern one - a very clever choice of pic - so here's another lamppost to be going on with ...

It's not the Parpaillon.

A couple more of the same pass. We were descending, the barrier being where rough track changes to unsurfaced road. I'm off on holiday Friday, so no more clues, or an answer, for a while unless you are quick.

Pico del Veleta?

frankly frankie · « **Reply #455 on:** 26 June, 2008, 09:21:23 am »

Worrying lack of snow. Are we in the Atlas? (if you see what I mean)

FF- is that lamp post in Prague?

frankly frankie · « **Reply #457 on:** 26 June, 2008, 11:15:34 am »

I wish. No, its a bit closer to home. Love the avatar BTW - makes me green with envy ...

Pico del Veleta?

Correct - the approach from Capilera on the south side
The pass is about 3200m, then there's a side road up to the 3400m peak about 1km further on.

It was September IIRC - there is a small patch of snow visible in the original photo.

Bayeux, perhaps?

Andrew

frankly frankie · « **Reply #460 on:** 26 June, 2008, 05:04:04 pm »

yes Bayeux - 2 in a row - very good.

Yup - view of Wearyall Hill from the Tor

Hurrah! I'm usually rubbish at this game.

Here's one of mine:

andrew w · « **Reply #465 on:** 30 June, 2008, 10:13:06 pm »

The Bowes Museum?

MSeries · « **Reply #466 on:** 30 June, 2008, 10:14:33 pm »

He's right you know.

Greenbank · « **Reply #467 on:** 30 June, 2008, 10:59:13 pm »

Damn. One I could have got having cycled past it the weekend before last.

Told you I was rubbish at this game

It has elements in it that could be Avonmouth, but it isn't. Is it?

Nope.
It's not in the UK.
Gus and Woolypigs may know where it is.

Excellent Pic

Probably not fair for me to answer this, but if the Pompino is in the shot, that means it must be somewhere near C********n

Can someone else fill in the blanks....if i right of course Steve

Cheers
