Close enough. This is an unnamed pool, but it is on the track past Lake Hanson and that is indeed Hanson's Peak above.

Thanks Eggs. It was covered in snow last time I walked through there.

Thanks. I've never had to use that. Whenever I've been there it's always just been me and maybe one other tent at most.

I’m guessing that’s a mountain bike track. I’m guessing that’s a lighthouse in the distance. I’m guessing it’s Eddystone Point. So maybe you were at Weldborough, maybe?

Thank you and good night. Take it away, Last.

Getting the directions wrong folks.
Consider what is just behind Byron on the left.

That could be Gould in left foreground which might put you on The Minotaur or the saddle between Gould and Minotaur.

That is Gould [with Hugel in the distance]
And we were hunkering down on the back of the Minotaur that night.

I’ve camped there in atrociously wet conditions and also in a heat wave. It’s a pretty good spot to get away from the crowds though.
Where is this?

Somewhere on the north coast. The name of the National park will do.
