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.

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

OK, how about guessing the country then!

Argentina (Patagonia) and perhaps the Chimehuín :?

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

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

H :cool:

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

Cheers

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

Nope  :z6

Nope  :roll Morag is the monster that allegedly lives in Loch Morar , so is there another Morag  I've  missed   :? obviously yes  :z4

Loch Nevis ?

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

...Loch Quoich?

Nope  :z10

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  :wink
