Sorry Willie. Nice try, but what happened to Errigal ? I regret the answer lies further south, though that doesn\'t exactly nail it down I know.
If PQ17 isn\'t gone by the end of the week I will give a clue that will surely settle it. DW

Wild Guess but would this be the new landing on Inis Biggle looking east towards Ballycroy etc?
A Donegal person once told me that they would never have a green boat as it is a very unlucky colour!

Well done Jamie.
You got there just in time before a pass mark would have been handed out. Second class honours !
I am not at all surprised that an Engineer got it, to the point I am even discounting Jamie’s Mayo-ness, well, almost! E.g. Gerry Spain, who loves background, and hillwalking, were the Nephin Begs not plain enough or something? The same for Muiris ?
I suppose it was the stone filled thingies that filled the photo that did it for you, Jamie? Even a non-Engineer should have got there [Google] and God knows ye were warned with the “limestone” solution to the last Phizz Quizz. The technical term is used only three times in the text of Olieáin. A little real analysis and this prize was anyone’s
High time Knotman appeared out of the woodwork with a real puzzle. These photo quizzes are second best by a long way. And poor Wilhelm is exhausted.
Folks, after generations lobbying for a cable-car from Inishbiggle west across the Bulls Mouth to Achill, minister Dev Óg said no a few years ago but instead agreed to a pier looking east to the mainland. And it actually happened.
Well done

I recon the stone could have come from anywhere - Dev Og would have no problem shipping it from Clonbur to any county that wanted it! The tide is a big hint and the Nephin Begs in the background. Also it had to be a populated island for expense of that sort. I could have added that the boat colour gave away the county as everything in Mayo is painted Green and Red for a short period each summer normally culminating at best in a single depressing visit to Croke Park.
Jamie
PS Thanks for the Mayo native compliment, I have to admit however that I have been living in Galway for 20 years which is longer than the rest of the family have been in Mayo! Our only saving grace is that we came from the part of Kildare outside the Pale!

Well done Jamie, once again. That was really smart with the colour of the boat. That even caught me, me that wears green and red crocs in Mayo, blue and yellow in Clare etc ! I must keep an eye peeled for that sort of thing in future.
You misunderstand the limestone reference though. I wasn’t saying the stones in the wire cages were limestone. PQ16 turned on the fact that the bedrock was limestone, sufficiently notable down Kerry way to be mentioned in Oileáin. Anyone who fed in “limestone” in a search of the up to date web based Oileáin got 10 hits outside the Burren, enough to zero in, as the winner did eventually. Wilhelm was close behind except the lúdramán (a term of exasperated affection in Ranelagh) was using an old 2004 printed Oileáin for the search.
I was pointing at that anyone who saw the stone filled thingies that dominated the picture and googled “stone filled .....” sees the technical term for those cages. They are quite common. Try it, except perhaps you don’t need to, because you are an engineer? The technical term for such stone filled cages appears only 3 times in Oileáin. QED follows quickly ?
Knotman, this is all a giggle, enjoyable maybe, but your country needs you. Your quizzes are the business. Consider this a call to patriotic duty (I hope I fare better than the last guy who said that)!

PS Jamie, isn’t green a Donegal colour, green and yellow ???
