Game: Where-is-it? (international)

[CBee]

You got there first, damn. Tinden Handelssted is that little village. What a maze!

[Last]

Correct icefest, Tindsøya is the island, the peak is Tinden. I wanted to climb it.

Name the bridge or name the dam. This was taken the months before Covid started.... (nov 2019)

I'm in China

I'm near a town with a famous love song named after it!

Xingkang Bridge on the Ya'an-Kangding expressway?

Xingkang Bridge on the Ya'an-Kangding expressway?

Impressive!
First try too!

[CBee]

Yeah! Too easy, there was an article about a guy who did a world record of jump from that bridge, or something like that...
Anyone can have a go next. My pictures are too difficult to guess...

Been awhile.
Lets try one in NZ.

That's correct. Fascinating mixing of local clear mountain streams with the silt laden waters of the Dart as it flows into Lake Wakatipu.

[Walk_fat boy_walk]

That whole area is really nice. Still in nz...

Looks like this one is stuck in a crucible

kinda reminds me of lake mckenzie, but I don't think that's right.

[eggs]

But.... it is right - Lake MacKenzie from the track descending towards it.

That's really unexpected, I couldn't get the top of that lake to line up with my photos.

Right region, wrong lakes.

That's it!

That would be a great step up in my walking in NZ - if I can ever get there again.
Would love to do it.

Are you walking up to Stony Bay peak, looking down at Akaroa?

[eggs]

We were on the ridge to Stony Bay Peak at sunset.
We were staying in a novel kind of backpackers very close by at the time.

It was very hippy style.
Our 2 girls were in a caravan which had no wheels and we were in an upper level where you had to duck to miss the rafters.

Wonderful setting though - a BBQ tea laid on at an outside picnic table with views down the valley to Otanerito Bay.

[Walk_fat boy_walk]

Could be Lake Howden?

Could be Lake Howden?

Roughly the right area, but the wrong lake - I saw this lake on the same walk as my previous one.

[eggs]

Massive clue. I was trying to think about the low altitude of the surrounds.
Skirting Lake Sylvan
I think I would like to go over the Sugarloaf Pass on that route - weather being kind.
