On the telly I've seen people press the image enhance button and get the number plate that way.
It does seem like a job for CSI Coniston.

Bad behaviour on Walna Scar Road!

The walkers on Ingleborough probably did have a right to roam there if it was on unenclosed, rough moorland.
the map says they were at 599 metres

I was the first one to meet the MX'ers head-on yesterday, and unlike other groups of MX'ers who we meet quite frequently on legitimate trails who are always courteous and give way when needed to us / horses / walkers, not one of this bunch (who were quite spread out) showed any sign of giving way, and I had to change lines to avoid a collision. I did think they seemed like a bunch of C U Next Tuesdays even before I found out they were throwing rocks at the walkers!

I saw a similar (maybe the same) motorbikers on Walna Scar last Saturday. They didn't give a monkey's about walkers and just barged along the trail, taking liberal detours wherever they fancied. On reaching the watershed, they tore up the fellside onto White Maiden, where they stopped for a fag. They seemed delighted to leave as much scaring as possible on the ground. Whilst there were a few horrified / afronted walkers around - no one seemed interested in confronting these guys as given their utter lack of care for rights of way or landscape it seemed likely that they wouldn't care about a GBH charge either. They didn't appear to have number plates or if they did they were tiny. I was sat on Brown Pike watching the whole sorry event.

We saw 2 groups of mx'ers yesterday. One group of 3 had just come up the beast and were heading towards win hill. I didn't realise that they shouldn't be there until they'd gone but we bumped into them again later. I got the number plate of one of them then. Where do you report it?
There was another group of 3 whose number plates I didn't get. I did explain to one of them that this was a bridleway and they shouldn't be on it. I made a point of getting my OS out and waited until they went back the way they came (on a bridleway, I may add).

Police?

I reckon this weeks photo assignment should be waiting for these tools and getting a picture of their plates both on the bikes as well as their car/van etc lower down the hill. A picture of their mugs wouldn't go a miss either.
Simon I would suggest contacting the local Police and offing them your photo. It could help in "building" a case which may require photo evidence to support it.
Riding an MX bike badly and without consideration to others an the environment is stupid to say the least but throwing rocks is downright dangerous and completely unacceptable in my book they need reporting asap.
