That's a lot of detail, John, and of course you are right.

Thanks Graham, that's just my OCD coming out . I haven't visited that spot although we did travel through the region many, many years ago.

What short walk/peak am I heading onto in North America?

Hiking towards the old weather station at the summit of Sanson Peak - Sulphur Mountain, Banff NP, Alberta Canada

[johnw]

I found the vistas great from the historic weather observatory at the summit.

[Graham51]

Sulphur Mountain, Banff NP, Canada?

[johnw]

Sulphur Mountain, Banff NP, Canada?

Yes, close enough Graham. I'm walking to the summit of Sanson Peak 2310 m ASL (interesting history) at the north end of Sulphur Mountain.
To add confusion the true summit of Sulphur Mountain is about 4 km to the south, about 140 m higher, and less visited.

[Graham51]

Thanks, John. Google images was my friend there, I have to admit.
Try this one, UK.

[johnw]

Longships lighthouse, Lands End, Cornwall?

Thanks Graham, google definitely helped with that one.

Here's an easy one from the Pacific:

Pape'ete, Tahiti, French Polynesia

[johnw]

Looking at the downtown foreshore and hinterland of the capital of this island nation, oui?

[Graham51]

With your clue I guessed it was Port Vila in Vanuatu, and some further research suggests it might be Ramada Resort.

There is some common background Graham, but I'm a long way east of Vanuatu.
I'm on a vessel in the harbour, just looking for the name of the town/city and island (main one of many that make up this nation).

Thanks Last.

Staying in Europe again (and no more than 2 big days of driving from where the last photo was taken) - name the feature in view.

[J M]

This is in a country formerly part of Yugoslavia.

[johnw]

Uvac River Canyon, southwest Serbia?

[J M]

That's the one, over to you John

[johnw]

That's the one, over to you John

Thanks J M, that one required some creative googling.

Next, what calving glacier am I visiting in North America:

Margerie Glacier calving - Glacier Bay NP, Alaska USA

[johnw]

This glacier is female.

[johnw]

[cajun]

Thanks cajun, and best wishes to you.

I'll try Black Sail Hut, Ennerdale, Lake District NP, Cumbria England

[cajun]

Spot on John.
Most remote "hut" in the UK. Stocks wine and beer! The walk out is steeeeeeep.

Over to you.
