whats the story with you being there?
Worked out there for about 4 years on the project to build a new structure over the damaged reactor/sarcophagus - called the New Safe Confinement.

Picture was from just before I came home, so when we'd re-classified the area and could wear relatively normal clothing and not need respiratory protection to be stood where I was.

> Chernobyl?

Well, I've never been there...

A bit OT, but one om my favourite books is "Wolves Eat Dogs" by Martin Cruz Smith (Gorky Park,etc) - It's largely set in the 'dead zone' around Chernobyl and has a Litvinenko-style asassination - but written several years before the real one!

Anyhoo, here's a new one.

I've been there but I can't place it. In the UK though.

Is that Belas Knap?

I saw something like it on that Julia Bradbury program recently. I like her.

Is it between Uley and Stroud looking towards the black mountains?

No, wrong country. JB has certainly been on this island recently...

Closest so far, as you've got the right country (but the wrong end!) for the mountains.

I'd say yes to Anglesey and most likely this place: Bryn Celli Ddu

https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Bryn+Celli+Ddu...

Thought I'd been there at some point in the recent past but must have seen it on TV or something. Only time I've been to Anglesey recently was to get the Holyhead - Dublin ferry.

I think Coffin Dodger has this one. bow

We could always mix things up a bit.

You post a pic of Julia Bradbury and we have to guess where it is! rofl

Assuming I'm right on that one I'll open it up for someone else to put a picture up. I'm at work at the moment so don't have access to any of my photos and I'm unlikely to be on PH this evening so you could be waiting a while otherwise....
