Whilst by guessing ...

Out in the middle of no-where, Otago, New Zealand?

... does provide more words, it does not provide any more detail re. the location than Bodo.  So like my response to Bodo, more detail required, please.

Now without really wanting to back track and go back to the first post in this thread, but I will ...


... the idea is to provide a photo of your STeed in front of something iconic ..... or 'easily' identifiable and the person who guesses correctly gets to either post a photo themselves OR nominate someone to post a photo...

... and now go out on a limb and say that this location is something iconic - BTW there's nothing cryptic in that.

No.  But within a 4 (or so) hour ride.

No, there's a mountain or three between Treble Cone and this location.

Coronet Peak

BTW, I visited Glenorchy, Coronet Peak (car park), the mystery location, as well as a few others, all on the same ride.

Shoot enough arrows in the air, enough darts at the dart board, you're likely to hit it eventually.

Cryptic clue - he was marooned on an island, not in a deep valley.

The second one reminds me of one in northern England, but I can't recall where.  The timber structure over the arch is quite distinctive.


May be similar, but neither are in TAS or UK.

Here's a hint, Skippers Canyon (try without Googling):


This is a preview of another ride report (to come after I finish Two Terrific weeks in Tassie), titled Willy takes a Wee in NZ - shyte that gives it to you.

He' posted pictures from this area before so I knew it was Otago immediately, but the clue gave it away.  As for Te Aroha, I was taking the mickey.

Skippers Canyon it is, over to you Bodo.

More info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skippers_Canyon

IMO, any trip to the South Island, must include a visit to Queenstown, and then Skippers Canyon.  If you are in a rental, you may not have insurance cover.  It might be worthwhile checking before you take a dirt bike or dual sport bike as well.  We had Vstroms, and paid a bit extra for dirt road cover.
