OK, keeping on the watery theme.

Where's this one?

Could it be Llynnau Mymbyr, looking in the opposite direction from the classic view of the Snowdon Horseshoe?

Hah, didn't take long. I thought about cropping out the road to make it less easy, but if you know PyB it would be recognisable.
I chose it because it wasn't a Llyn or a Lake (previous post), but Llynnau, technically.

180 degrees the other direction would have been a bit obvious.

Clue: there is something hidden in the mists at the giraffe’s feet...

I must be wrong, but it's reminiscent of Yr Wydffa...

I thought the giraffe was an enormous head popping up above the hill with long nose and darker neck and ear, and couldn't understand where its feet came in. This morning I suddenly see the other picture, although I think I still prefer mine!

Thanks Alteknacker, Mal Grey and nigheandonn! No correct guesses yet though....

Clue: just out of shot to the right is a dramatic and well recognisable rocky feature.

:clap:
It’s actually the summit rocks of Fach in the mist - here’s the wider view, with Castell y Gwynt

Cheers Tim...

Which mountain rears up just out of shot here to our right?

Bonus points if you can get the name of the campsite we are in?

Aye, that's the place....

We had the tent pitched for 5 minutes then it bucketed down for the rest of the weekend.
