I did chuckle. I'm neither that fit nor that crazy! *Sigh* Maybe if I hadn't had chronic fatigue when I was younger, and if I had moved here a few decades ago... My friend decided it was easier to take her deceptively full-looking big pack to VC.

It’s a beautiful valley that I haven’t ventured up for a while.
Where was I on this occasion?

Nowhere NE Ridge,
Close to Mt Montagu. This is from a named feature.

Yes, Devils Throne it is. We sat there and watched eagles glide past half a dozen times. Amazing.

That's a pleasant looking tarn. Reminds me a little of Lake Belton, but not sure that's right...

It is in a NP but not Mt Field - and it is seen by lots of people :)

Based on that clue it's likely at Cradle. I'm guessing either Lake Lilla or Wombat Pool. Leaning towards Lake Lilla.
If I can find my shots of them it might help.

Looks more like Wombat Pool to me, but confirmation would also require digging out photos and I'm trying to pack, so ...

It is actually Lake Lilla in lovely morning light [the clue was "the name of the Lake"]

Sure. The name has Lake in it, not Tarn or Pool

The clue evaded me also. And I still can't find my photos of either Lake Lilla or Wombat Pool:

Neither of those, a bit closer to PW but not by that much.
