I’m sure they’d recognise me.

Now I must go and see to that capstone.

Correct. Nice views, but a rather undistinguished lump. :D

Nice walking around there, but not exactly photogenic summits!

Where am I here?:

I am guessing the Pembrokeshire coast. Maybe near St David's and Whitesands Bay.

Hi Charles, I think that's good enough!

A little away from the city itself, but standing on St Davids Head and there's definitely a sliver of Whitesands Bay in view. The gentler side of Carn Llidi to the left. Back to you....

Thanks poppies, it was just a guess. Looks a pleasant spot.

Can you identify the prominence on the right?

Clue time. A steep slog to the top, but it's over quite quickly.

The Whimble?

If I'm right, we saw it on Christmas Eve (from a distance of 40-odd miles in the West Midlands!)

Correct! :clap: That's a good spot, stands out well for such a small hill.
