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 😳

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?

bumpity bump.....

The first one is at Honister Slate Mine. The second one is at the top of the [url= http://streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?X=321766&Y=513695&A=Y&Z=115 ]old trackway[/url] above Honister

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

by some remarkable detective work i think no4 is the grasmere gingerbread shop 😀

but i actually [i]did[/i] do a bit of detective work and found the pic for no5 on a chinese website. its st oswalds church grasmere where wordsworth is buried.

any knowledge of the others?

ta

EDIT: ive found that the money tree is at a gate at the top of aira force national trust car park, and the waterfall is aira force waterfall from the lower viewing platform 🙂

got those last ones from [url= http://www.loweswatercam.co.uk/170222_Aira_Force_with_Jen.htm ]the walk on this web page[/url], so would that give any clues as to the last couple of pics i cant get, the copper stove and long log with coins? just wondered if hed have done the same walk. i saw that wordsworths dove cottage may be near so didnt know if the stove would be in there, but google images doesnt show it anywhere.

any ideas peeps?

thanks

answered the ones i could hoping that hed be dazzled by my answers and not realise im missing two. wrong, hes badgering me for the two i 'forgot' :-/

any idea please gents? heres hoping......

next please 🙂

looks like its the borrowdale area.....

thanks 🙂

Nah, that little hump/nipple on the middle left looks like Pike o' Stickle to me. Dunno which hill he's up though; Rossett Pike maybe?

Actually, could be Borrowdale area....

Yep, looks like the top of Stake Pass.

hes put "dont be fooled" by picture 1, and the whole photo set is titled 'borrowdale sept 2017', so not sure whether that implies its not borrowdale or whether its a red herring.....

wotcha thinking chaps, stake pass or pike o stickle?

thanks

It's not Pike o Stickle - that can be seen in the distance. Top of Stake or Rossett Pike IMO.

Glaramara. Fits with Borrowdale too.

Rossett Pike

See here. http://josweeney.net/glaramara-via-combe-gill/

I think Rossett pike is too far round to have the langdales separated like that. Scroll down that page above and there's an image almost exactly the same.

looks good to me mate, ill hit him with that, see how we go 🙂

thanks

My guess would be somewhere along the Glaramara ridge, not sure if it's Glaramara itself - that's one of the few Lakeland tops I've not been on - as there's a lot of small summits along there.

Looked at the shot mentioned on the link and I think the shot in question is from slightly further south along the ridge from the summit as Martcrag Moor (the vague hump in front of Pike o' Stickle) has an ever so slightly different background, you can see further along Langdale. Also the two hills on the skyline immediately left of the top stone on the cairn are aligned whereas in the shot taken from the summit the nearer hill is to the left.

Don't know that the Langdale Pikes would appear that separate from Glaramara. I wonder if it is possibly more like Rosthwaite Fell.

well, i answered him with glaramara and it seems right, but..... hes asked which one??

i dont really know what he means by that so is glaramara a range or somethings? and if so which 'one' might it be?

thanks chaps 🙂

Glaramara is a peak, but often done as a circuit of a couple of ridges. Given you mate usually tries to be obscure, it could be Bessyboot - still think it is north of Glaramara itself.

The Glaramara ridge has lots of little "tors" and bumps, so could be any of them. My current thought is that it's [url= http://streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?X=324590&Y=510182&A=Y&Z=115 ]this point[/url] or possibly spot height 721 a bit to the south.

ive answered with that link whitestone, and its probably right as he said "ok what about this one then" and linking to that second pic again ^^^. this one.....

[img] ?oh=13203ec400e1c565d74b73bdac2916ec&oe=5A5CFB47[/img]

must admit i thought they were the same place, but obviously not 😀

any ideas? would it be the next point along or somethings?

thank you kindly
