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 😀
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.
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…….?
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?
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
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
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.
