A watery theme for this one:

You had better weather than us. We hired bikes and rode the High Line trail both ways from Lake Louise in sleet and snow and shorts

Would have guessed Bath for PeteB99's pic, but didn't look quite the same as the pic I recall of there. Else somewhere in Italy.

Scott's pic a few pages back is Tellytubbyland.

No and No

It dates back to 563 but I think was mostly rebuilt in the 20th century

OK where's this?

Dunno, couldn't you get a monk with a sponsored robe to stand in view

If I could he'd have 4 letters on it

Is it Iona then? There could be a hint in the url of the image

Yes Iona - next to the abbey shop so if you've been there you will probably have gone through the cloister

Another one:

This shows two completely different countries. There's a clue on the horizon.

Northern Norway, near the Russian border?

Correct! The bike is in Norway and that is Russia on the other side of the little river.

Adrian · « **Reply #112 on:** 13 April, 2008, 11:08:18 am »

Another one with two countries, both the moutains and the middle line of hills are in the other country.

Yep

I'm impressed.

Bonus point if you can locate it more precisely though...

Adrian · « **Reply #123 on:** 13 April, 2008, 05:24:24 pm »

Cwmcarn?

Frenchie · « **Reply #124 on:** 13 April, 2008, 05:26:07 pm »
