Hotel California?!
Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful.

This just a wild stab in the dark ( not unlike Norman Bates....) but I'm throwing Mendenhall Glacier Alaska in the mix.

Correct wild stab Greg. I went hiking near the glacier, which also has a pretty decent waterfall near the terminal face. Sadly, like most glaciers, its retreating these days.

I had to google Skellgil Bank ( because I didn't remember the name) and as I remembered taking it from Catbells, but alas!, I see that in fact I did indeed take it from half way up and Eggs is a worthy winner.

Thanks eggs, wish I'd gone to the port area whilst I was there.

This one is on Mainland Europe.
