Game: Where-is-it? (international)

[johnw]

Near the summit of the Torre Toblino on the Via Ferrata delle Scalette (I think)

[CBee]

Close. BTW is Torre di Toblin (or Toblinger Knoten) and it is near the top, but is not the "Ferrata delle Scalette".

Flying blind here. I've never been there so relying on research I found at https://alavigne.net/Outdoors/FeatureReports/ViaFerrata/
Which revealed a very similar photo with the description I posted verbatim. The closest to that one appears to be the Sentiero Curato Militare Hosp (sic).
But doesn't look like a match from what I can see.

[CBee]

I took the photo myself on descent from Toblin summit. This ferrata is not as historical as "Scalette" but more exposed and fun overall.

Via Ferrata Cappellano Hosp?

[CBee]

Yes. Better know as Feldkurat Hosp.

[johnw]

I see eggs has tracked down the correct answer. For my own sanity, is the photo in this link mislabelled?

[CBee]

Ok. Yes the photo is the same spot, I could easily recognise the place. The correct name, I'm not sure 100%. I always heard Feldkurat Hosp was the correct name, and in italian Ferrata del Cappellano (chaplain). But looks like there are a couple of other names around on the net, like Sentiero del Curato (and this make more sense). Therefore, johnw, with your web search, you may have pointed to the right place. Historically, the ferrata was built by italian army, but the name could have later been given by locals, hence the Feldkurat Hosp, as direct translation.
kurat - curate - curato.
I would personally give the answer to John, if eggs agree. But anyway, I can assure you that this is a truly spectacular place and deserves a visit at least once in a lifetime.

[eggs]

Ahh - John or I - revisiting all the same series of places with slightly different aspects each time - fire away John.
[PS - the Dolomites were next on my hit list till we have decided to semi permanently go back to a time when international travel was a pipe dream]

[johnw]

Very generous eggs and CBee. Stunning scenery and love being up high, but the exposure on most via ferrata would overwhelm my vertigo.
Yes who knows when we may travel beyond Oz again. Anyway I'll try and vary it within the limited range I have.
Going back to my archives, a scan from a long time ago. General locality will do, UK:

Not confident but I will take a guess at Lairigmor?

Not Lairigmor but you're quite close, as the crow flies.

[GregG]

Ben Nevis maybe, its many years since I last saw it.

Not Ben Nevis, Greg. Getting colder but you're still not too far off.
I don't know the name of the hill (if it has one), just need the locale.

[RicktheHuman]

Glen Coe? The Lost Valley?

[johnw]

Glen Coe? The Lost Valley?

Yes, Glencoe is all I needed Rick. Not sure if I'm looking at the walk to the Lost/Hidden Valley.
I was in the car and it was bucketing down from memory. Over to you.

[RicktheHuman]

I remember reading about that walk, would love to get there one day.
Next

Looking to Tucker Cove, Campbell Island

[icefest]

Faero Islands?

[RicktheHuman]

Faero Islands?

No, It is an island though, and it's not far off being the exact opposite side of the globe

[eggs]

That might be the Galapogos Islands then?

[RicktheHuman]

I was going to say you are now in the right hemisphere, but I believe the Galapagos straddle the equator. This island is (a lot) further south. If you tunneled through the center of the earth from Faero you would be in the ballpark

[eggs]

Looking down to Tucker Cove?

[RicktheHuman]

That's the one!

[eggs]

NZ has some interesting islands way down there. Was it a tour of some kind?
Anyone can post next.

I was on my way home from working at Macquarie Island. Hitched a ride on a Tourist Ship.

Apart from all the Rush Liimbaugh memes, this is the best thing I've read on the internet all month.
