First one is the Brotherswater Inn/Sykeside camping car park. Not sure on the other one, nice weather though.

Second one looks like it might be the Sea of Tranquility

I agree with Mangoman about Brotherswater pub car park (great campsite there by the way)
2nd one could be anywhere but looks a little bit like Great Gable summit.

Is the 2nd one linked to the first, did he walk up there from that position?

Thanks

It won't be Great Gable then as its too far away from that pub
It could be Place Fell?

I think you're right with Place Fell - a few yards away from the summit cairn.

Agree on Brotherswater but can't really place the 2nd pic. Place Fell is a possibility although my first thought was Cofa Pike

id say theyll all be fairly close to each other as he tends to post his weekends pics together.

thanks a lot 🙂

The stretcher box is at Styhead near Great Gable. The view is Scafell from Great Gable.

Yep defo styhead and pic 3 background looks like it's scarfell crag and from the direction of styhead area so you need to work out how far away

3rd is probably from summit of great gable, but not absolutely certain.

Quick google of the person on the memorial suggests Lincolnshire might be the area, though south Wales or the Lakes also possible, reading the article.

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?

dont know the lakes at all so never have any idea how obscure these places are (or indeed whether theres any cairns nearby), but im sure keeping it all on this thread is better than a new one each time doncha think? 😉

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).

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

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