and just to save someone else asking:

thanks, mav, you're a gentleman and a scholar wink

Now I'll hop over to W&F to see what y'all concocted, before departing for a most-likely-internetless six-day vacation. Y'all have fun!

here's a late entry from RC which is a fine example of one way to approach these things (although it may not be a fine example of a winning approach :)
This is the act of stumbling across a hitherto unknown mountain or area of high ground.
from "col" - hill, rise,
"luc(k)" - (good) fortune
and the suffix "-ation"

The word is in current use amongst
Sherpas and Welsh Sheep
