Getting closer. But there's a track right behind me.

Yes, that's Lake Ayr. I expected it to be hard, but not to take this long. Thanks for the fun.

Wander seems to have gone awandering, so maybe someone else can step in? You have until this evening before I crack and do it myself and you will not enjoy that at all.

It's so quiet, no need to calm the farm. I'm not trying to fool you.

That land-slip in the distance. I'm wondering if it featured in a previous game ; not in the Forth valley? And that magnificent Dolerite begs for something like Oakleigh.

Much closer but not Mt Oakleigh. The Forth Valley is in my field of view though. My earlier weird cryptic clues might help.

And you would be correct. I am on Barn Bluff of course.

This should be a doddle. My location's un-named but the lake and mount to the right are. I hope the S3 photo is legible.

That's it I think, at about GR318535. I camped that night at small lakes, west of Spurling. All yours.

Yes we are in the Labyrinth.

Following the example of the previous pic I was thinking we need the name of the lake and hill to the right

I think that might be Lake Cyane with The Parthenon on the right.

Both those guesses aren’t too far off the mark but neither is correct.
