Looking very Notchy. Shelf Camp? Edit: though arguably that's not on an Abel.

Not a bad guess, Graham. More zoom, though, and things don't line up quite right for Wedge.

And the master has it. Climbing up to the plateau from High Camp hut.

As a general note for folks: It's a bit tricky with zooming in (for the detail) and out for the context and seeing where the line takes you, but I've found using the line drawing tool on LISTmap helpful for angles - especially like this photo, where the peaks are clear. In the photo, Reeds Peak is closer to the Thumbs than to Clear Hill, which takes you on a line to Eliza. If you draw the line as far as you can and click, then zoom out, continue the line at the same angle, and repeat, it'll get you closer to the spot. If you have time to play with it, of course.

Thanks Tortoise

Of course, that is exactly what I did.
However, the rough lineup could have suggested Anne as well as Eliza.
So it was up to the foreground detail, and it was the snippet of road that had me favouring Eliza in the end.

Yes I was although I didn’t feel so wonderful at this stage.

Ha, I bet. I do remember it being a long way to tackle in a day. Especially if you take the wrong tracks to the coast too early.

Here's a screenshot (this website allows allows ridiculously small files) of somewhere I camped recently.

Not at Stretcher.
Very popular campsite for this area. One of my favourite sites. Definitely should be awarded first place.

That suggests Silver, although it's east of Meston, not north.
