The "guess the place" thread

[RJ]

Hmmm.  Reminiscent of Ben Nevis - but I think it isn't.

[clarion]

Is it somewhere in the Netherlands?

Is it somewhere in the Netherlands?

If only......

[Tourist Tony]

Indeed. I know that one, I'm sure....

[tonyh]

Lakes?

[nicknack]

Lakes?

Hmm... I think you'll find they're called mountains. Lakes are sort of flat and shiny.

Looks to me like a winter Snowdon.

[tonyh]

Too small for Nevis.
Can't make it fit Snowdon.
Thought Great Gable at first, but no.
More like England's highest?

Yeah, I'll give you that.  As you look at the photo, England's highest (Scarfell Pike) is on the left hand side and Sca Fell is on the right hand side.  The picture was taken from the summit of Yewbarrow at Easter(!).

from the summit of Yewbarrow at Easter

Thanks for the fine picture and details.
I'm out of practice (too much cycling?) and was thinking that Scafell on the right was higher. But the heights in feet are still in my brain I think... 3211,3162.
(And Mickledore, Lord's Rake, Broad Stand, Hollow Stones, Foxes Tarn... )

[clarion]

No doubt - that's an inspiring picture.

Sca Fell always looks more impressive than Scarfell Pike and the rock climbing is on crags that rise up Sca Fell.  However, like you say, Sca Fell is a tiny bit lower than Scarfell Pike.

When I get home I'm going to post a really difficult one.

When I get home I'm going to post a really difficult one.

If it's that difficult I'll start guessing now -

Is it the gate behind the petrol station on the A1 about a mile north of Gonerby Moor Services?

[Jurek]

I thought that too - but then decided there were too many trees to the left.

I was thinking that, that the big lump was CB (Central Buttress on Sca Fell)

And that wheely bin doesn't belong there

B*gger!

[Ian H]

Okay, here's my bid to outwit you all.

[PeterM]

Okay, here's my bid to outwit you all.

It's the Cannington viaduct near Lyme Regis.  And very fine it is too.

I can't quite work out how, but I'm sure that's cheating.

[chris]

OK, where is this -



the name of the town partly visible at the bottom of the picture will do.

[clarion]

Simplon?

[PeterM]

No, it's remembering...

[chris]

Simplon?

No. Not Yorkshire either .
