After some deliberation I've tagged a lot of mountains, but let me know if I've got any wrong - I'm not used to seeing them from this angle...

Awesome pictures, I could look at them all day.

Some stunning pics in there - this one is great.
As is this

Very nice Mr Barnes, as usual. Only a short walk for me on Sunday but nice and snowy.

SFB:Just looked at your ride report on bogtrotters website and noticed that you called in a pub at foxfield (the prince wales).Lived there with my parents till I moved back to garstang.

Well if we're all posting pics...
Anyone guess where this was taken from?
I've been to the Prince of Wales in Foxfield - nice beer and pasties and bit like being in someone's front room.

I was only reading the Wierdstone of Brisingamen the other day - that's where the action of the story ends

Nope, not quite right I'm afraid.

Your correction is right.

BTW, only been on Ingleborough once but it's like Boot Hill up there, flat and covered with annoying stones

Nice shots Simon - got to get up Black Combe sometime... my excuses are running out since it is only a couple of miles along the road too!

I don't actually like it much as a ride, but this time we had good views which made up for it

Funny you should say that - my brother's ashes are buried up there.

no disrespect Granville
Not my favourite hill. I'd probably go for Thornthwaite Beacon!

No problem Simon, I was being lighthearted. Should have added a smilie

I wasn't on the bike, still don't seem to be capable at the mo.
Saw a couple of people on bikes - one pretty good guy coming down fast in the opposite direction (with no helmet!) and another guy carrying up the ice/snow on the final steep bit to the top as we were coming down.

Former fort on top of Ingleborough.
Simon, read the Wierdstone of Brisingamen at school, brings back memories that did. reminded me very much of Tolkiens Hobbit.
Some great pics there lads.

what I liked about the Alan Garner stories was, you could go to the places where they were set around Manchester. I recall turning the wheels on the map in Picadilly and finding Thursday St

... and I've since learned that Brisingamen was the necklace of Freya, which she lent to Thor when he was impersonating her
I never knew the Norse gods got up to such things!

I like the downhill from the top into the dudden valley (10-15mins). I had the pleasure of growing up within sight of the combe.
My parents still live up there so I get to go and play occasionally.

uh, above every single pic are buttons for a) route map b) GPX download, and below each pic if you mouse over the grid ref you get a popup showing where it was taken...
