It is, but I'm even further away. You are probably about 70% closer though.
Probably not hard to work out from that.

Sheeese, that only leaves 2 states that I can think of and it looks gloomy and atmospheric, hence, ergo and thus I'm going with Alaska.

Well done Greg. Yes it was beautifully gloomy and atmospheric. Paddled to a remote cabin in the woods on this lake maybe an hours drive from Ketchikan.
I can't remember if the lake was named. They kept telling me not to wander far from the cabin as grizzlies were nearby.

Clue: It's on an Island and the locals have a trick up their sleeve, they send the Gaelic Footballers over play in our Football league.

Your clues are way to obscure for me, but I will guess the Isle of Skye (looks a bit familiar) and the Quairaing.

Sorry Sandy but Sleeve and League were the answers. It is Slieve League in Ireland. Highest sea cliffs in the country. If you're ever near Donegal its a must.

So Eggs gets the choccies.

The US state containing this feature has been mentioned in recent posts.

Yeah I haven't actually walked them but all the photos I've seen have that look about them. Which Swiss peak is in view (or where am I, bit harder)?

I can't find a match by name. By region, do you mean one of the 26 cantons that make up the Swiss Federation?

Re: Game: Where-is-it? (international)

Sun 14 Aug, 2022 7:37 pm

No not a canton name but still a well-known region
