I thought you may have been.

One of the more, possibly the most, interesting cruises I have been on.

Went along the west coast of Greenland, north to Ilulliset and then south, stopping at several small places on the way.

Iceland, along the north coast, stopping at various places to Seydisfjödur.

Then Faroes, Lerwick, Copenhagen, Gotland, and eventually Helsinki.

Two things surprised me, the size of icebergs (they look small from 35000 feet) and the waves that they produce when chunks fall off.

The boat, it is now a tourist hostel in Turku, was originally a car ferry in the Baltic sea and had about 50? cabins.

As an aside, thinking you were with Monarch, Monarch used to do charters, for Kristina Cruises, to the Caribbean, with the A300, after they acquired a bigger boat.

Thank you. Only been to Kulusuk myself, in a Cessna 152.

How about this?
.

Should we be thinking Canadian?

Nope.
Further south than here. Although it does look a bit like the end of the world, doesn't it?

Caribbean?

No.
It does have a certain colonial style though.
Other side of the Pond, one of the colonisers.

Portugal?

Close, no cigar.
If you headed due west from here, you'd end up in New Hampshire.

How about Cape Finisterre lighthouse in NW Spain?

Spot on!
It was indeed the End of the World to the Romans.

You have control.

Thank you Fox3.
Let's have another castle this time.

Scottish, Grampian?

One in my neck of the woods, was there about 5 years ago - Drummond Castle and Gardens just outside Crieff - Perthshire, not Grampian.

OH if confirmed

You beat me to it, I lived in Auchedly Schoolhouse (edge of the Haddo Estate), bought it off Ron Kann (Chinooks, BAH), for several years in the 80s.

Close to Gerry Beecher, long gone, et al..

Assuming you were a Bristow man.

C16 has it. It is Drummond Castle between Crief and Muthill, Pershire. Gardens are beautiful but the most impressive part for me was the drive from the road, must be an avenue of trees over a mile long.

OH has been declared.

Yes, Bristow for my final 12 years after they took us (BCAL Helicopters) over. Didn't know Jerry Beecher but knew of him. I think he was on the Met Police contract at one point. Skin cancer I seem to recall.

Inspired by Smeagol's avenue of trees......

Is that the Meikleour Beech Hedge?

Very beautiful.

OH if correct.

It is indeed. Well done.

OH declared.

Just to get this back on page1

No-one want to post?
