The "guess the place" thread

[Tourist Tony]

Not Snowdon.

[Tewdric]

Looks reminiscent of Y Garn as well but I don't think it is - definitely Glyder-ish!  The temptation to google is almost overwhelming!!

[Tourist Tony]

Too rocky for Y Garn and not a Glyder. The leaning pillar has a good Hard V Diff up it

[andrew_s]

Yr Elen?
doesn't look big enough for one of the Carneddau

[David Martin]

Not amphitheatre buttress by any chance, on the Carneddau? Bit of a walk in but a very nice route.

Not sure it is, it being over 15 years since I was last there.

[Rig of Jarkness]

It's not Tryfan is it ?  And Bristly Ridge ?

[Tourist Tony]

Not amphitheatre, but I see your reasoning. Not Carneddau at all, and not in the Glyder (Tryfan, Y Garn, Yr Elen)  or Yr Wyddfa ranges. You will kick yoursleves.
HINT:
There is a lake at the bottom of the visible cliff. (NO, it ISN'T Clogwyn Du'r Arddu)

Stab in the dark: Craig Cwm Silyn, which would make the route Outside Edge Route? Although I'm not sure if that's a VD or HVD.

[Tourist Tony]

All your guesses are too far North

[David Martin]

Not Dartmoor is it? Rock colour wrong for west penwith

[Tourist Tony]

Wrong country

[αdαmsκι]

Hmm. Too far north you say. Cader idris?

[Euan Uzami]

another  'weird building' one, looks a bit like a CIA base (probably is):

Does it normally have a big all-seeing eye just cropped out at the top of the picture?

[Tourist Tony]

Burger King, Pyongyang?

Doh!  Wrth gwrs!

[Zoidburg]

Funy one that is.

I am guessing it's a range control or maybe from the way the doors are dug in it's a guard house and entrance to a tunnel/bunker.

Somewhere like Lakenheath maybe.

[Cudzoziemiec]

Looks like a toilet in an motorway rest area somewhere in the eastern part of Germany to me. Except there aren't any cars, TIRs and homeward bound coaches full of Polish students parked up in front of it.

[David Martin]

Looks like the control station fro a reservoir or landfill methane. Recently built as well.

[Salvatore]

At first I thought I'd seen it near Winchester on the Denmead 200 - Intech science centre and planetarium

but it's obviously somewhere else.

You could have something here. Reminds me of Bernie's Long Flat One along the Trent. Dunno where though.

[Euan Uzami]

Give up?

(click to show/hide)

It's here

Spookily, however, the road it's on isn't street-viewable.

As to the 'what' it is, David Martin's closest. It's a pumping station. Or at least that's the official line

late 60's according to wikipedia.
