Quite correct. And extra points to Griffindor for pronouncing it Thingvellir, not Pingvellir.
( The Icelandic symbol Þ in Þingvellir is the Th-sound ).

As opposed to Ɖingvellir, of course. The same symbol used in English and misused in such constructions as "Ye Olde etc". I did Geysir and Gullfoss on the same day. Smiled at the steam loco on Reykjavik's seafront, as the plate tectonic movement there sort of buggered up railways chop-chop!

Here's a head scratcher for you all!

Lol!

A wee clue, is it is a Wee Planet of a place in Fife...

Charlestown.

Ah yes! I can see that now. East Harbour Road in that shot.

David Martin · « **Reply #6612 on:** 16 October, 2016, 12:02:02 am »

Is that Charlestown south of St Austell? or one of the many others

tonyh · « **Reply #6613 on:** 16 October, 2016, 06:52:45 am »

It's the one near the North end of the Forth Bridge.

Steph · « **Reply #6614 on:** 19 October, 2016, 07:46:01 pm »

An easy one

Jaded · « **Reply #6615 on:** 19 October, 2016, 10:30:51 pm »

Is it South coast?

tonyh · « **Reply #6616 on:** 19 October, 2016, 10:39:05 pm »

Or East coast?

Puts me in mind of Jersey for some reason.

Feel free to tell me if I'm talking bollocks. it's nothing out of the ordinary for me . . .

South Shields https://goo.gl/maps/j2BzuqkquhD2

A precise location if possible.

Steph · « **Reply #6620 on:** 20 October, 2016, 10:16:43 am »

Shields indeed. That's Marsden Rock just offshore. Here's just up the coast from the same flight.
