[Closed] wheres this cairn(?)

Grizedale?

Thanks. Any further info on that? Could you pinpoint it for me please? 🙂

he says it was at the start of a 5hr walk if that helps?

Strictly speaking, pretty much everywhere is at the start of a 5hr walk...

I think that's in Rothay Park in Ambleside.

That's not a cairn AFAIK, It's a [s]momunent[/s] [s]monunemt[/s] [s]sclupture[/s]...
Well It's not a cairn anyway!

It's a sculpture called 'The Turning Point'

Scroll down a few pics.

yep as per oldbloke the park in Ambleside...

The grey path through the park labeled vicarage road with the footbridge over the stream in the background.

thanks chaps. knew youd come good 🙂

That's a relief. I knew I had the right hill in the background but was trying to narrow down the viewing position. Never been to Rothay Park...

I recognised the park rather than the sculpture. Many nights wandering back through the park from the Golden Rule to the holiday flat my parents rented over the burn.

your excellent work shocked my mate, and hes now sent me another photo to identify, believing theres no chance. again, hes been in the lakes this week, so its gonna be from up there somewhere......

anyone recognise it?

That's on the path to Aira Force waterfall.

haha, thanks a lot mate 😀

Tree with coins embedded is at Tarn Hows in the Lakes. Northern end of the tarn.

There must be a lot of trees with embedded coins in the Lakes! There's one on the coffin path between Rydal and Grasmere too...

edit:
Yep reckon that's the [url= http://www.davidhalllakedistrictwalks.co.uk/PAGES/WALKS/20131120_ID_1308.html ]coffin trail one[/url].

this is his latest one, apparently its a wainwright. anyone help me out here?

thanks 🙂

It looks a bit like High Street trig point

Loadpot Hill

haha, loadpot hill it was. much appreciated 😀

anyone?

Glenridding?

Sourmilk ghyll, borrowdale (seathwaite)

honeybadger seems confident, is yours a guess ormancheep? 🙂

do i go for sourmilk ghyll?

thanks 🙂

youve been spot on so far lads, got every one right. hes upped the ante now tho. firstly this one may not be too difficult, but where is it?

now, hes getting desperate i think...... im not really expecting anyone to be able to get this but you never know. hes taken a couple of pics from inside a room and wanting to know where he is and which room number? 😀
just thinking outside the box, if we can work out which b&b/hotel or whatever hes in, then i can ring them and ask about the bedding in different rooms 😀

Lodore Hotel, by Derwent Water? Somewhere around the southern end of Derwent Water anyway.

ill look into that then thanks, is that where the first pics are taken too? south end of derwent water, is that what itll be called?

Pic one looks like the jetty at Abbot's bay (called Highbrandlehow by the launch company), pic two is the sculpture by Victoria bay, and pic three looks like the jetty at Barrow bay (called Ashness by the launch company).

thanks mate, ill report back on how successful that is 🙂

from a bit of googling i dont think the bedrooms the lodore hotel, none of the pics of the rooms have beds like that?

any other ideas?

Pics are west side and south end of Derwent water.
I reckon window and decor is too old for The Lodore. The view looks like across the valley to Maiden Moor/Cat Bells, from a hotel in/near woods, so I'll guess The Scafell Hotel or Mary Mount. Can't be assed to search though. Good luck.

nope, hes not in either of those, nor the royal oak next to the scafell (bit stalkery this innit, but its a quest now) 😀

a bit of a breakthrough hopefully.... ive seen another couple of his pics that seem to overlook a campsite. anyone know it?

EDIT: btw, you were spot on with the first few pics, thanks 🙂

The VW camper 'cafe' is on the Lingholm Estate but I'm fairly confident the bedroom is room 9 at The Old Dungeon Ghyll.

[url= http://www.odg.co.uk/gallery/ ]Room 9[/url] 😀

just had a google, bluddy hell mate youve got it!!!

how the hell did you know that?? i think he'll have a heart attack when i tell him!! 😀

The wall’s recognisable and I’ve got work to do so thought I’d spend my time on this instead!

haha. hes astounded, his facebook answer was just 'gobsmacked!!!!!!!!!!' makes it all worth while 😀

i thank you all. dread to think what he'll come up with next, but i know youll be up to the task 😀

What's the story behind your quests? Did you tell him you know the Lake District like the back of your hand, even though you've never set foot in the place?

yep, thats about 100%. you played this game before?? 😀

next!!

Looks like he went up Jacks Rake above Stickle Tarn in Langdale then along the ridge above the valley

thanks mate. any chance you could describe each pic location for me please?

ta 🙂

i thank you 🙂

Bumpity bump for the clever peeps 😉

First one is the Brotherswater Inn/Sykeside camping car park. Not sure on the other one, nice weather though.

Second one looks like it might be the Sea of Tranquility

I agree with Mangoman about Brotherswater pub car park (great campsite there by the way)
2nd one could be anywhere but looks a little bit like Great Gable summit.

Is the 2nd one linked to the first, did he walk up there from that position?

I think they'll be linked yes, they were taken same day. Does that help?

Thanks

It won't be Great Gable then as its too far away from that pub
It could be Place Fell?

I think you're right with Place Fell - a few yards away from the summit cairn.

Agree on Brotherswater but can't really place the 2nd pic. Place Fell is a possibility although my first thought was Cofa Pike

@sadexpunk - Did we get it?

He hasn't answered yet, ill push him 🙂

hes just got back to me, apparently it was bow fell?

latest pics are.......

[img] ?oh=e4c280319380db75de6f4e283659a415&oe=58312BDB[/img]

id say theyll all be fairly close to each other as he tends to post his weekends pics together.

thanks a lot 🙂

The stretcher box is at Styhead near Great Gable. The view is Scafell from Great Gable.

thank you 🙂

Yep defo styhead and pic 3 background looks like it's scarfell crag and from the direction of styhead area so you need to work out how far away

3rd is probably from summit of great gable, but not absolutely certain.

latest pics to locate.....

Wookey Hole?

Looks like Tilberthwaite slate, but apart from that, stumped on this one.

Quick google of the person on the memorial suggests Lincolnshire might be the area, though south Wales or the Lakes also possible, reading the article.

sorry, i should have made it clear before, all pics will be in the lakes, hes a big lakes fan.

thanks 🙂

Quarries behind Elterwater mebbe, can see the big stone in my mind but struggling to place it

in case it helps, ive included some of the other pics in this batch of photos hes just uploaded. that doesnt necessarily mean its all the same place but it maybe helps place those pics a bit more accurately maybe?

those help any?

Big bucket of win for me!

Fourth pic is Elterwayer, second pick is Langdale from the quarries (first low hills in pic 4)

the photos are getting increasingly off-piste, where's the cairn?
😉
