Here's an easy place to guess

It looks a bit like the lower stretches of Honister Pass on the East side.

Damon.

It's on the way to Coniston Water on the south east side (is that Honister Pass?). I used to do a 25 mile loop every day which was bloody hard work, but it got me away from the missus and her mum. Cunsey to Coniston, up over Hawkshead hill and around, lots of arrows to cycle up.

Monsr P's is Damien Hurst's workshop. He lives near it.

So we've now got 3 "guess the places" on the go

Scott: is yours in New England somewhere ?

No, neither Olde nor New.

Nobody's going to get it; I just wanted to see if anybody would guess somewhere over there so I could laugh at them.

It's in Highland County, Virginia, near the "town" of Blue Grass (I am not making this up.)

Is it near New England then ?

It looks like Olde Englande...a bit

Nope--it would have been firmly in the Confederacy in the Civil War.

Correct. I hadn't realised it was written on Pcolbeck Junior's life jacket though

To give Really Ancien credit Lake Moraine is only about 5 miles further up the road from Lake Louise, it has about 1% of the tourists though and no hideous huge hotel.

PeteB99 · « **Reply #90 on:** 11 April, 2008, 09:57:29 pm »

I hadn't noticed the writing on the lifejacket either (honest)

When I tried to go there the road was still about 15 feet deep in snow!

Talk amongst yourselves for awhile as I try to find my photobucket account
