If you guess correctly it's your turn so have a suitable pic ready.

Pics of bike rides only, so must include a bike or something bike related.

Over to you.. 🙂

Grrr....thinking is got to be somewhere in that side of the hills. Hummmm, now looking for something with the slope the other way!

Its not Hodders, Stert, Sommerton, Ladys Edge. Dont think its Bin Combe (slope is the wrong side). Slaughterhouse (dont think we have ever found it correctly - we are from Newcastle!!)?

It's the Eden Valley I reckon, looking West - so High Cup Nick/Cross Fell.

In which case, maybe Dunnerdale? It doesnt look as far east as Grizedale!

I meant SE!
It's the Lickle Valley - takes you from Walna Scar to Stephenson Ground. Lovely trail.
Dunnerdale was right enough

Yours is really hard. Rough guess would be Peak District. Maybe Hathersage area.
