Right on all but one respect.

Town = Morzine
Run = Aigle Rouge
Peak = Pointe de Nyon, not Chamossiere.

Very neat. Over to you.

It isn't Beatrix Potters cottage in the lakes. George Orwell's cottage on Islay?

George Orwell's house was on Jura. I bet you knew that.

Sweet! Half recognised it but not been there for years.

Staying overseas (and in an area also not so far from skiing, ace for mountainbiking, but people do roadbike there too)...

Name of the river will do, or the valley, or one of the main towns/villages.

Bonus points for naming the movie that was partly filmed a bit further upstream.

^^ Soča?

Yep.

Was that too easy? Wonder how many people know the movie? (Most think it was NZ or Czech).

next...

I'd guessed the country, but not narrowed it down

That is spooky indeed. Not even read that thread, but need to, because I was going to replace my Leon with an Octavia, since my Leon nearly overheated going up those 52 hairpins last July!

Twas indeed Soča river, Chronicles of Narnia - Prince Kaspian filmed just outside Bovec.

I've paddled down there!
Is it taken from the bridge at Kobarid?

andym · « **Reply #3809 on:** 01 April, 2011, 05:33:40 pm »

Think it was a hanging bridge near Kobarid, along the path that goes up to Slap Kozjak waterfalls.

Nothing? How about a different view of the same square?

Chile?

Nope not Chile. Try another hemisphere

It looks a bit like a small Central European city, somewhere like Kosice or Lubljana, but it's not those.

Jaded · « **Reply #3814 on:** 06 April, 2011, 12:01:18 pm »

Somewhere in central Portugal.

Not central Portugal, but....?

Coimbra (sp?) ?

αdαmsκι · « **Reply #3817 on:** 06 April, 2011, 07:30:38 pm »

Not Coimbra.

Bragança

αdαmsκι · « **Reply #3819 on:** 06 April, 2011, 09:29:14 pm »

Not Bragança - you've gone too far.

Jaded · « **Reply #3820 on:** 06 April, 2011, 10:49:00 pm »

Surely is isn't Porto?

αdαmsκι · « **Reply #3821 on:** 06 April, 2011, 11:11:15 pm »

Not Porto. But getting closer. (It's not Vila Nova de Gaia, either. Just in case you thought I may be being pedantic.)

Jaded · « **Reply #3822 on:** 06 April, 2011, 11:30:20 pm »

I'm desperately trying to remember the places we went through. So my final guess is Viseu

αdαmsκι · « **Reply #3823 on:** 07 April, 2011, 03:25:39 pm »

No, not Viseu either.

Geographically the best guess so far was Porto. Bragança was just a bit too much....

Jaded · « **Reply #3824 on:** 08 April, 2011, 08:35:49 am »

Ah, yes. Are you bragaing about that clue? It was right at the nça.
