Another up and running. On the results of the first google'ing attempt it looks like it could be in the south west - another of Ade's little gems maybe????

I thought this one might be Dartmoor :D but Barton Fell in the Lake District looks like a better match, I could be wildly wrong. :?

Back to the drawing board...

I haven't given up on Dartmoor 8) then there is Exmoor and Bodmin Moor to look at too :?

It will all have to wait, it's Valentines night and there are other things to do :D

My first thought on reading the clue was 'Homer's Odyssey' (get it?). Barton Fell sort of fits except for the 'heavy' part.
Having traversed Dartmoor a few times, that grey block in the distance looks a bit like the Cranmere Pool letter box.
Just had a good look at the photo and it looks like the photo is taken looking northish if that dark blob to the bottom right is a shadow, which might rule out the pool if I remember correctly as the terrain slopes downwards going north not up as it's the source of three rivers. But it has been a while. However, it does look more SW than N (i.e. no craggy terrain)

Man I wish I was in the UK, I have a great theory on where it is that fits the clue perfectly and google maps shows it as being a flat area. Though if I were there I'd have no clue really where to look once i got to the area b/c I don't see how the clue can be an exact location unless its hidden under that green rock looking thing in the middle of the picture.

Well done Sue right on it, I think it's at Swarth Fell(barton fell's stone circle)

If you look at the Photo I think you can see one of the small stones.

Come you lot up there get your hiking boots on. :lol:

been just randomly checking out new stuff on this whole ISIS adventure...to find something that makes sense to me... since the dutch free search doesn`t at all at the moment.

I`m from holland, so I can`t check wether this actually is the place to be, but it looks a little like it:

I believe this is in Dorset
