[Closed] wheres this cairn(?)

stabiliser just heard from him, you are indeed correct (not that it was in doubt) 🙂

the photos are getting increasingly off-piste, where's the cairn?

I'm just bitter 'cos the last lot had me stumped
Keep 'em coming
😀

Keep 'em coming

ok then.....

He's been to 'Chester's' Cafe at Skelwith Bridge ([url= http://streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=334414&y=503402&z=115&sv=334414,503402&st=4&ar=y&mapp=map.srf&searchp=ids.srf&dn=594&ax=334414&ay=503402&lm=0 ]here[/url]) and then taken a walk along the river towards Elterwater (it's a cycle path). The memorial stones must be in the quarries around Yew Crags, SW of Elterwater village ([url= http://streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=332358&y=505070&z=115&sv=332358,505070&st=4&ar=y&mapp=map.srf&searchp=ids.srf&dn=594&ax=332358&ay=505070&lm=0 ]here[/url]).

I spent a lot of my childhood weekends playing in that quarry (we had a house in chapel stile).

great work, thanks 🙂

Is he getting old/lazy? His walks are getting less adventurous.

Could be a "walking off a bad head" walk?

Damn too slow!!

is this near great langdale campsite maybe?

thanks

No, that's jack's rake in the background on Pavey ark, so maybe somewhere nr slate mines at chapel Stile (again????) or certainly further down the valley nr chapel stile.

click on satellite view, I think [u]maybe[/u] looking across this field from the wall on the right, just on the edge of chapel stile. as well as the slag heap you can also see shadow of at least one telegraph pole.

otherwise, somewhere in that vicinity

How about an ex-cairn...

Work out separately from B.A.Nana but the same answer, I think it's from the field you can see [url= https://www.google.co.uk/maps/ @54.4394639,-3.0539213,3a,37.2y,238.87h,79.4t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sL-kH7ZrF00Or2v55XCMp2w!2e0!7i13312!8i6656]here[/url]

Hmmm Is that up Whiteless Pike way? 😀

Close...

thanks

Crag Hill 🙂

pah! hes upped the ante again. says location should be too easy so he wants the room number again!

unbelievably you sorted me out before which astonished him, so im hoping you may be able to come up trumps again 😀

Easy, bunkhouse barn at bortherswater campsite

edit too close to road so it's in the pub brotherswater inn at the campsite (sykeside I think it's called)

thanks, thats a start. now er...... what number room? 🙂

top window
[img] [/img]

aye, ive been googling pics and seen a pic almost the same as my mates, so ive sent an email request to them asking which room number it is. if i have no joy ill ask about that top window, itd be nice to give him a number to mess with his head 😉
if i have to ring to ask about that room, what does it overlook? top room looking up at what?

thanks a lot mate

stoney cove and middle dodd, or looking up towards kirkstone pass

is that the bunkhouse in front of the window?

No bunkhouse is down to the left of the pic on the campsite (probably not even in that pic). That's maybe more B&B accomm or staff accomm.

Edit yeah bunkhouse is way out of pic down a hill

thanks mate. just rang em and tried describing it and theyve told me they think its room 5. ill let you know if thats right.

thanks a lot 🙂

yep, was room 5. hes now convinced i can do voodoo 🙂

thanks

That's the bunkhouse at Sykeside Campsite / Brotherswater Inn 😀

This is the Building from the other side (shop, shower block, drying room), your mate's van would be parked behind

Langdale pikes from tarn hows (haven't been up there for 20years so could be mistaken)

Its Blea Tarn

Had my suspicions I was wrong. Ironically I was scanning some old of my old slides a while back and I've got an almost identical photo, couldn't remember where I took it.

thanks as ever chaps, spot on.

But where's the hip flask?

He's slipping. That was way too easy! It's on the opening credits to Countryfile...

If I was in his shoes, I wouldn't have wanted to go through the same scenario again.

That's about 100 feet back from the last one, with a bit of snow added.

I must admit, this one has me beaten. 🙁

It does look like it's from Blea Tarn again

I think you're right!! Hadn't twigged that.

Thanks 🙂

The plaque behind the bronze firefighter statue is at Stratford upon Avon frie station. No help with the rest

Far more interesting when there's actually a cairn or a mountain/view in it 😳

The plaque behind the bronze firefighter statue is at Stratford upon Avon frie station. No help with the rest

good work 🙂

rascal, i dont care whats in the pic, i just like astounding him with 'my' knowledge 🙂

At the risk of being a hotel room geek, he’s staying in either Stag Lodge or the White Hart in Stow-on-the-Wold. Not sure which room though, both next to each other.

Sorry, just seen the other thread. 😳

dont apologise mate, im keeping my eye on both threads 🙂

ive emailed both hotels asking them for room info, see if they come up with the goods 😉

back on track with the lakes, i believe hes been to borrowdale area. can you help with any of these photos please?

thank you very much 🙂

latest....... looking at his other pics it looks like he was round the great langdale area?

Gibson Knott, it's on the ridge between Helm Crag and Calf Crag. Harrison Stickle is the prominent bump on the skyline.

Second one of the four is Calf Crag.

so do i understand it that 2 is different to 3? so no2 is calf crag and no 3 is gibson knott?

no idea with the others?

thanks 🙂

Yes. The first one is an indeterminate point on the ridge, I think it's around [url= http://streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?X=330732&Y=510404&A=Y&Z=120 ]here[/url]

Number 2 is Calf Crag

Number 3 is Gibson Knott

The drystone wall could be anywhere! But it's made from quarried slate rather than field stones.

The picture davidtaylforth posted is also Calf Crag.

The crag behind and right of the person in the first three shots is Deer Bield Crag, you can see fresh scree beneath the LH side which is the result of a huge rockfall in 1997 - it was effing huge, about 40 metres high, 20 metres wide and 10+ metres in depth.

High up on Whitburn path up Helvellyn - birk moor or something like that. Judging/guessing by the elevation., thought Seat Sandal at first but wrong angle I think

This is the [url= http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2135197 ]view from Birk Side[/url]

You can't see any of the Helvellyn/Fairfield range from the base of Deer Bield Crag so it can't be that far back. Here's another view from the summit of [url= http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/448126 ]Calf Crag[/url]

I meant to say that Davidtaylforth's shot is from Gibson Knott not Calf Crag.

Thx I like that website
