Seems we're whistling in the wind here, the setter appears to have gone AWOL. You may be right, or I may be right. Who knows?

As I have very few pictures of Wales to hand, that I haven't used before, why don't you post something?

Me too, but don't think I've used this one previously. Where am I?

The summit? of this minor top of a mid Wales group is just out of sight.

Maybe no one really cares for this thread any longer. Pressing on, the source of England's largest river is nearby.

Maybe there aren't enough Welsh walkers on here at the moment?


OK, never been there, but your last clue suggests something like one of the stones on the flanks of Pumlumon Arwystli?

Think we gave them a pretty good going over a couple of years ago and I haven't been back since I completed the Welsh 2000 footers in 2011, so no new pics. Anyway, you're not far off, but not quite there.

You've moved farther away now. If you had been there it would be easy, however you haven't and it's not. It isn't marked on the OS maps but it is a Hewit. That should get you there.

So, I guess its probably Pen Pumlumon Llygad-bychan [Plynlimon East Top] then?

It is, well done. It's a pleasant walk on a fine day. Your go.

Took a little detective work, that one! And more than a few major clues...

Hopefully there are more folk than just you and I playing now, as I'm running out of Welsh images! Let's see what I can find...

Pure guesswork, The Wye in its upper reaches.

Not the Wye mate. I'll give it a day and add another image or clue if nobody else bites!
