Iberia, by the sea. Very hazy. Could it be an Azore?

Tourist Tony · « **Reply #3656 on:** 26 February, 2011, 08:55:21 am »

Iberian it is, but mainland

It reminds me in shape of a rock in the Polish Pieniny known as The Pillar of Hercules, but the one in the photo is less large and the vegetation is clearly somewhere hotter and drier. So I have no idea but I do like the photo.

Somewhere a bit closer to home (porbably):

Ooh, I think I know this one.

Is it the Cleveland Way footpath, between Saltburn and Skinningrove?

Deano · « **Reply #3664 on:** 10 March, 2011, 10:18:31 pm »

I knew I should have banned you from playing

It's Huntcliff, you're absolutely correct, with Boulby in the background, Skinningrove is the bay between.

North York Moors coastal path, somewhere between Saltburn and Ravenscar? I'm glad someone found a use for the Conti 2000 I abandoned there years ago!

Damn - too slow! I think Huntcliff is in the background isn't it? I always hear Kate Bush singing "Huntcliff, oo -oo-oo...."

Too slow, Peter

Also, Saltburn to Ravenscar is a bit vague - that's about 30 miles...

Ha. Quite true! Lantern rouge and I were riding back from Whitby to Saltburn and as we passed the sign saying 20-some miles to Saltburn, I commented that I feel I'm within reach of my destination when I'm closer than 25 miles...

Anyway, here's another:

MSeries is definitely banned from playing

Okay, you get extra points if you can name the point where the photo was taken, as well as the name of the place depicted in the photo. Dead easy this one.
