Totally random and only because I've heard of it - Simplon?

This might be a tricky one, but I think you'll guess it :

The Mhumbu valley, Nepal, on side of Everest.
It's a high altitude research centre.

I do have one or two to post later...still at work after a night shift that went pear-shaped

Sorry, Gus, but was a mountaineer for years....

95 % of all people who trek to mt. Everest don't know it's there and never visits it.
to bad it's beautiful located 400 meters from the main path.

Everything OK TT?

Right, got rid of the complaint. Try this one:

andrew_s · « **Reply #2862 on:** 28 April, 2010, 11:26:12 pm »

It would appear to be a Merchant Navy war memorial - WWII?

edit: google suggested the location before I'd actually clicked to search

Tourist Tony · « **Reply #2863 on:** 29 April, 2010, 03:12:37 pm »

Not WWII.....not this one

David Martin · « **Reply #2864 on:** 29 April, 2010, 04:08:58 pm »

Google and a bit of digging shed light on this pretty easily. (there is a rather vague pun in there)

I Gwgled too, cause I was curious, but I had no real idea.

Tourist Tony · « **Reply #2867 on:** 30 April, 2010, 03:03:37 pm »

Here's a clue then.
Pelimum

Google that and several of the top hits are about Peli's Mum. I kid you not.

David Martin · « **Reply #2869 on:** 30 April, 2010, 04:58:59 pm »

It is the merchant navy memorial for the first world war in Trinity Square, London. Outside Trinity House who manage the lighthouses etc around the coast. Hence the bad pun.

Tourist Tony · « **Reply #2870 on:** 30 April, 2010, 09:38:55 pm »

It is indeed. Behind it is a much bigger one to the dead sailors of WWII. Sobering.

How about this one ?

Rig of Jarkness · « **Reply #2872 on:** 03 May, 2010, 07:52:44 pm »

C'mon chaps, somebody must know...

Here's the view from the other side -

chris · « **Reply #2873 on:** 03 May, 2010, 07:56:52 pm »

(Scratches head and makes wild guess) Is it the Galloway Sculpture Park?
