RIP ‘wheres this cairn’…Long Live ‘where am i?’

some of you will remember my ‘wheres this cairn’ thread, where you always gave me correct locations of where my mate had been in the lakes even down to room numbers of pubs/hotels he’d stayed in. he never did find out how i got the answers…….until now.

hes a massive ‘lakes’ fan and has begged me to come clean, as hes writing a book on the wainwrights, and has forgotten where he was on a few photos that he wants to include.

of course, im happy to do this, it was fun, and i know that youll be able to help him out on most if not all of the photos.

hes sent me 35, but rather than just chuck them all into the thread now, i’ll do them in 5’s, and upload the next batch when these have been identified please.

youre a clever bunch, i can remember a thread last week where you even identified the name of a milkman and his dairy from a grainy shot of the front of his vehicle, so im hoping these wont pose much of a problem 😀

thanks a lot from both of us for your help.

Can you photoshop a “Where’s Wally?” jumper on him for the next edition?

4. Hindscarth (I think) with Causey Pike and the Newlands valley behind.

5. summit shelter on Robinson. Probably the same walk.

1. Loughrigg Fell-ish
4. Hindscarth-ish
5. Robinson-ish

1: Holme Fell summit I think.
2: Tricky. Loadpot Hill, possibly, although doesn’t quite look right.

peakfinder.org may be of help

1. Holme Fell
2. Ling Fell
3. Hindscarth
4.
5. Grisedale Pike or could be Robinson – last two pics are looking corrupted for me. Will try again later.

2. Is that Place Fell on the left with Helvellyn/Dodds in the background. I’d suggest it’s from Gowbarrow Fell in that case but am prob wrong!

Are 3 & 5 the same place but from a different angle? The stones look the same shape.

ads above is right. Dale Head is in the background so would suggest last 3 images all taken on the same walk. Viewed from Hindscarth?

thanks. ive sent him the link to this post and he’s going to have a look tonight.

much appreciated.

full house chaps, well done, i knew i could rely on you. next 5 below. i appreciate that the first one will almost certainly be impossible, but if i ask him what photos were either side of it in his album then then it may give a clue.

thanks again 🙂

7 Great Crag looking back over Watendlath?

TBH 8 and 9 could be the same place or nearby. Base Brown and Gable lined up behind would fit with that.

Edit – I reckon the rocky top will be Grange Fell and the other one Great Crag, probably same walk.

10 could possibly be Ard Crags/Knott Rigg

6. Not sure, could be Grange Fell, but thought that was a rocky outcrop
7. Great Crag
8/9 Rosthwaite Fell (Bessyboot)
10 is Knott Rigg

6. It looks from the rock like the NW Fells around Whinlatter – could it be Whinlatter summit? Or the true summit of Broom Fell – most people think the big beacon cairn is the actual summit.

It’s surely never going to be published in a book…….?

hmmm keep getting a ‘403 forbidden’ message when i try to post any more pics, yet this goes through ok. any ideas?

A forbidden fell photo? The Nab, I reckon.

A forbidden fell photo? The Nab, I reckon.

haha that made me wonder whether it was pic 14 or not, but i removed a comment i made about it being one for ‘readers h*sbands’ and its gone through this time 😆

excelling yourselves again, hes now happy that youve helped him identify all 10 locations so far, well done.

It’s surely never going to be published in a book…….?

pretty sure thats his plan, not sure if all the pics would be in it or not. what makes you ask?

anyways….. on to the next 5 please 🙂

thank you

No help whatsoever with the locations, but if they’re digital photos, there may be GPS details in the meta data of the original snaps

11 will be Knott Rigg – same day at number 10.

13/14 possibly somewhere like Armboth Fell and High Tove. Looks like Helvellyn range in background.

15 possibly Middle Dodd – looks like Brotherswater behind.

be interested if thats possible. i think thats how he thought i was getting all the answers before 😀
pretty sure theyll be digital but i think he asked someone back in the day, who told him it cant be done.
thanks

Damn he’s been to some great spots. Envious down here in Surrey. 🙁

14. Paps of Jura?

15. Definitely Middle Dodd.

11. Aard Crag

12. Cairn looks a bit like Fleetwith Pike, but not the classic background view

13. (as above) Armboth Fell

14. (as above) High Tove

15. (as above) Middle Dodd

12. Fleetwith Pike looking eastish to Littledale Edge.

6 – Great Cockup?
(But I’ve never seen it in the dry)

excellent work everyone, i think we’re ready for the next 5 now…..

bumped for the weekday crowd please?

thanks

14. Paps of Jura?

Needs more recognition 😜

i’ll try another bump please for those experts that may not have seen it before it slipped off the front page?

thanks

16. High Crag or Haystacks, looking across the end of Fleetwith Pike towards Hindscarth?
17. Stab in the dark: Haycock
Think 18 is Raise. Sticks Pass just out of sight in the background.
The other two: pass.
