true - I confess to Googling the answer.

Ok, here's a picture question then... this should be hard or impossible without a clue!

Name the renowned trout river pictured here as it leaves its source lake.

I've been here. 2nd picture clue may follow.

OK no Googling, just a pure guess, the Taupo ?

Correct.... hemisphere. Wrong continent. Sorry, it's a stupidly hard question.

OK, how about guessing the country then!

Chile?

Argentina (Patagonia) and perhaps the Chimehuín

I'm going with Argentina anyway

top marks to the big chap! correct on both counts!

« **Reply #508 on:** 07/06/2013 at 15:20 »

MASSIVELY impressed, oh massive One !

« **Reply #509 on:** 07/06/2013 at 16:21 »

Most pleasing, but it had to be Argentina as I remember you talking about the steaks and wine when you were last up Iain

OK, here's my challenge:

Which loch is this

This could be very, very tough as few people ever go there. I've only ever been once and it was kicking the arse of 25 years ago

I will give you a clue or two (kind of already have).... just not yet

Let's see how this one pans out.....

Loch Shiel possibly?

Cheers

« **Reply #511 on:** 07/06/2013 at 18:46 »

Don't think it is Shiel, but the surroundings look like they might be from that area?

Cheers
Mike

« **Reply #512 on:** 07/06/2013 at 19:02 »

It's not Shiel I'm afraid Mr B, but that's a solid guess (knowing my background

) as to the broad geographical area that this loch might be in

I think it's still too early for a clue.....

« **Reply #513 on:** 07/06/2013 at 20:15 »

Wherever it is it looks like its been straffed with Agent Orange

I'll guess Loch Doine

Sorry Jim, it's not the right answer.
Time for a clue

Morag got in the deep near here.

No need to apologise Hamish

How about Morar ?

Nope

Morag is the monster that allegedly lives in Loch Morar , so is there another Morag I've missed

obviously yes

Loch Nevis ?

« **Reply #518 on:** 07/06/2013 at 21:17 »

That wouldn't be Loch Hourn in Knoydart would it H?

« **Reply #519 on:** 07/06/2013 at 21:47 »

Mordor?

« **Reply #522 on:** 07/06/2013 at 22:34 »

Casting my memory back to a conversation we had around ten years ago, how about....

...Loch Quoich?

« **Reply #523 on:** 07/06/2013 at 22:59 »

Nope

OK, lets see the first clue:

"Morag got in the deep near here."

I'll add a second clue.

Sea Trout and Salmon reach this loch through two rivers, the second river they run is nearly twenty times longer than the first.

Now that's a pure dead giveaway

H,

is it loch Garry?
