thanks 🙂

by some remarkable detective work i think no4 is the grasmere gingerbread shop 😀

but i actually [i]did[/i] do a bit of detective work and found the pic for no5 on a chinese website. its st oswalds church grasmere where wordsworth is buried.

any knowledge of the others?

ta

EDIT: ive found that the money tree is at a gate at the top of aira force national trust car park, and the waterfall is aira force waterfall from the lower viewing platform 🙂

got those last ones from [url= http://www.loweswatercam.co.uk/170222_Aira_Force_with_Jen.htm ]the walk on this web page[/url], so would that give any clues as to the last couple of pics i cant get, the copper stove and long log with coins? just wondered if hed have done the same walk. i saw that wordsworths dove cottage may be near so didnt know if the stove would be in there, but google images doesnt show it anywhere.

any ideas peeps?

thanks

answered the ones i could hoping that hed be dazzled by my answers and not realise im missing two. wrong, hes badgering me for the two i 'forgot' :-/

any idea please gents? heres hoping......

next please 🙂

looks like its the borrowdale area.....

thanks 🙂

Nah, that little hump/nipple on the middle left looks like Pike o' Stickle to me. Dunno which hill he's up though; Rossett Pike maybe?

Actually, could be Borrowdale area....

Yep, looks like the top of Stake Pass.

hes put "dont be fooled" by picture 1, and the whole photo set is titled 'borrowdale sept 2017', so not sure whether that implies its not borrowdale or whether its a red herring.....

wotcha thinking chaps, stake pass or pike o stickle?

thanks

It's not Pike o Stickle - that can be seen in the distance. Top of Stake or Rossett Pike IMO.

Glaramara. Fits with Borrowdale too.

Rossett Pike

See here. http://josweeney.net/glaramara-via-combe-gill/

I think Rossett pike is too far round to have the langdales separated like that. Scroll down that page above and there's an image almost exactly the same.

looks good to me mate, ill hit him with that, see how we go 🙂

thanks

My guess would be somewhere along the Glaramara ridge, not sure if it's Glaramara itself - that's one of the few Lakeland tops I've not been on - as there's a lot of small summits along there.

Looked at the shot mentioned on the link and I think the shot in question is from slightly further south along the ridge from the summit as Martcrag Moor (the vague hump in front of Pike o' Stickle) has an ever so slightly different background, you can see further along Langdale. Also the two hills on the skyline immediately left of the top stone on the cairn are aligned whereas in the shot taken from the summit the nearer hill is to the left.

Don't know that the Langdale Pikes would appear that separate from Glaramara. I wonder if it is possibly more like Rosthwaite Fell.

well, i answered him with glaramara and it seems right, but..... hes asked which one??

i dont really know what he means by that so is glaramara a range or somethings? and if so which 'one' might it be?

thanks chaps 🙂

Glaramara is a peak, but often done as a circuit of a couple of ridges. Given you mate usually tries to be obscure, it could be Bessyboot - still think it is north of Glaramara itself.

The Glaramara ridge has lots of little "tors" and bumps, so could be any of them. My current thought is that it's [url= http://streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?X=324590&Y=510182&A=Y&Z=115 ]this point[/url] or possibly spot height 721 a bit to the south.

ive answered with that link whitestone, and its probably right as he said "ok what about this one then" and linking to that second pic again ^^^. this one.....

[img] ?oh=13203ec400e1c565d74b73bdac2916ec&oe=5A5CFB47[/img]

must admit i thought they were the same place, but obviously not 😀

any ideas? would it be the next point along or somethings?

thank you kindly

Allen crags then?

booooo, not allen crags 🙁

any other suggestions?

Ha, I think he was lost in the mist 🙂

If not Allen Crags then it must be the other bit that Whitestone mentioned above. I'd say it was taken marginally further south than the first one and slightly higher. Hard to say in the mist though. I think it all counts as Glaramara 😉

you mean point 721?

Possibly.

from an album hes called 'great langdale'.

i thank you, you clever people 🙂

He needs to go somewhere different in the Lakes.

Elterwater and probably Elterwater Quarry.
High Close nr Elterwater ish

Last one: Cumbria Way near Oak Howe

so in order is it.....

1. elterwater quarry
2. high close nr elterwaterish
3. elterwater
4. cumbria way nr oak howe?

thanks a lot

1. Honestly could be any of the quarries around elterwater.
2. Just after the cattle grid on the road into Langdale [url= http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=333300&y=504765&z=115&sv=333300,504765&st=4&ar=y&mapp=map.srf&searchp=ids.srf&dn=583&ax=333300&ay=504765&lm=0 ]Here.[/url]
3. Langdales from the bench on Elterwater [url= http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=333807&y=504032&z=115&sv=333807,504032&st=4&ar=y&mapp=map.srf&searchp=ids.srf&dn=583&ax=333807&ay=504032&lm=0 ]Here[/url]
4. Pikes from Baysbrown Bridge [url= http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=331027&y=505872&z=115&sv=331027,505872&st=4&ar=y&mapp=map.srf&searchp=ids.srf&dn=583&ax=331027&ay=505872&lm=0 ]Here[/url]

What was the answer to the last one? Was it point 721

thanks chaps.

paul, he says it was the point on the link ^^^ just above at 783.

next......

hes actually titled this set of pictures as from being 'down south', and includes pics of basingstoke canal, 'kingfisher on the quay' which a quick google shows is in mythchett, camberley, plus pics with beefeaters etc so a trip down the big smoke it looks like.

[img] ?oh=5aab817f3bfb78bc197811d80878e1be&oe=5AACF92B[/img]

couple of pretty impossible ones but you never know......

[img] ?oh=3261b54cdf1bd44ae66c4bff804efffb&oe=5AB0301E[/img]

this one, ok its just pitch black but he accompanied it by saying that he "blagged" my way in with my flask, (They wanted to confiscate it ). I was given permission to take 1 photo only, (Nobody else was). The bloody flash wouldn't work....."

[img] ?oh=fe9d652169b3f50c7113ded6da79a799&oe=5A6AC020[/img]

an educated guess would be the crown jewels or somethings you reckon? where else might he be banned from taking a hipflask in and only taking one pic?

kudos points for anyone who gets those last two.....

1 Windsor castle
2 is Farnborough shopping centre ?

lovely work gents, any ideas for t'others?

Dark one will be somewhere in Windsor Castle as well, the text talks about restoration work completed in November 1997 following the fire five years earlier - st george's chapel or the state rooms, where photography is not normally allowed.

The other one is probably the gents there. The order of uploads on his photo sharing page will tell you.

I'm not sure if you noticed, but there's more detail in the dark photo than immediately obvious - I just had a quick play with the contrast, I'm sure others could do better

http://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-statue-of-a-charging-bull-outside-the-cattle-grid-restaurant-in-windsor-137711045.html

bluddy hell you guys are amazing!! id never have known! i even thought of not posting it and just saying 'a black picture' plus his message. good job i didnt 🙂

cant quite read that, but i assume youre both seeing the same thing, i can just make out a plaque to do with the 50th anniversary of the queens wedding. i cant make out anything do do with restoration work, is that right at the top where its a bit darker?

the toilet one...... its sandwiched between a pic of him stood with a beefeater (is that the castle or the tower?) and then a shop called 'jersey pearl' in windsor. windsor castle bogs do we think?

and good work with the bull!

thanks again, excellent work!

The plaque is in the Lantern Lobby of Windsor Castle. It's where the fire started.

Tell him he's deviating from the "cairn" part of the deal and that he needs to go somewhere hilly that isn't blummin' 5 miles from Langdale
😉

Is this a multiplayer game?
If so, I'm in....
[img] [/img]
❓

Where's the hipflask?

PS Simon Howe, NYM. ?

**** me that was quick! You lot are good at this.

Also, much to my shame I don't own a hip flask 😳

blimey, another mates getting in on the action now asking where hes been! sorry, bit more work for you 😀

hes asked all his facebook mates to guess the 4 locations so ill post the pics. one of ems been correctly guessed as ingleborough cave so thats a clue as to the whereabouts....

[img] [/img]
this is the ingleborough one i think....

[img] [/img]

Tell him he's deviating from the "cairn" part of the deal and that he needs to go somewhere hilly that isn't blummin' 5 miles from Langdale

he does get about a bit, goes to the lakes most weekends and is working through the wainrights i believe.

thanks again, really impressive work!

hes given some clues.....

"the falls are in a village named after a junction. the stone building is on a trail and the Scar is just north of Ingleborough Cave and South of Gapping Gil"

any ideas?

I think Trollers Ghyll/Gill is the scar

is that defo mate? think theyre all sposed to be walking distance from ingleborough. that looks t'other side of the moors, but if youre sure.....

Trow Gill is the gorge (Trollers is over near Appletreewick, but it's easy to mix them up)
The little building with the crosses is a small folly on the track from Clapham to Ingleborough Cave.
The river is Clapham Beck near the village.

Oops yes Trow Gill. I was up there a few weeks ago..doh!

lovely. i thank you all once more 🙂

Yeah, Clapham Junction (railway)

think he's been to the borrowdale area.....

thanks 🙂

Squirrel is in Hope Park Keswick. Not sure about the log, there are loads of them around.

thanks a lot. yeah, thats the trouble with the 'tree' ones isnt it. that pic is between these two in his photos, will that mean the pic will have been taken somewhere between them?

[img] ?oh=6928987fb93041d95822aaf09a77d2b4&oe=5A748107[/img]

The split rock is on the shore of Derwen****er- the millennium stone, and the people are probably avoiding getting wet feet a bit further south in the lakeshore path. I'm trying and failing to recall a specific coiny log in that area.....just go with Derwen****er lakeshore path and see if that's a good enough answer!

any ideas for this one?

[img] ?oh=1f5434dc94e6d34b494d590251fbece2&oe=5AF7750D[/img]

Outside pub in threlkekd?

5th tee Keswick golf course ?

castlerigg stone circle just outside keswick

Good call that

thank you very much 🙂

hope these turn out ok, new forum etc etc......

apparently this time hes down south again, maybe farnborough/ surrey area.  other pics in his album show a place called 'kingfisher on the quay' and some toilets that seem embedded in canoe shells if that means owt to anyone?

thanks a lot 🙂

back in the lakes again.........

this ones going to be tricky....... hes not interested in the view, he wants the room number!!  we've done it before, can we do it again?

thanks chaps 🙂

The engine above is a Whittle jet engine, presumably at the Farnborough Air Sciences Trust.

Of the last group the first is looking up Oxendale towards Crinkle Crags

The one of the room: It's the room above the bar at the Old Dungeon Gill hotel. No idea of the actual room number.

The last one is from the west shore of Derwen****er looking towards Keswick with Skiddaw behind.

I think it's Borrowdale YHA - the boot photo

mogrim, got all the aircraft/farnborough ones now thanks mate.

whitestone/ el shamino, thanks a lot, ill give the old dungeon gill a ring i think 😀

thanks

Boot pic definitely Borrowdale YHA
ODG room - probably 9 or 10
Bottom one - possibly Dawes End ferry landing on west side of Derwent

before i ring ODG, just been looking at some google pics.  this is the hikers bar.....

as you can see, theres no slate coloured section jutting out to the side of it which my pic shows.  we still thinking the same?

oldbloke, is that the same as whitestones answer?

thanks

This is a better shot of the hotel showing the other half of the building that is slate. The bar is most of the ground floor of the whitewashed section.

Different bar entrance, innit.

If you look at ODG further to the left as you look at it, there's a slate built bit which sticks out. That's the posher bit of the place. So it won't be a window above the Hikers bar, but a bit further over - maybe above residents Bar. I'm probably wrong on the room number but they've probably got photos of each room on the website to narrow it down.

Derwent water answer same as Whitestone, but narrowing it down a bit. There's a landing stage Dawes End where the hipflask could be on top of one of its posts - Google images will probably show you what I mean.

great stuff, ill contact them, see if i can get the number 🙂

EDIT:  and thanks oldbloke too.

PS

This

http://www.odg.co.uk/facilities/

gives interior shots of all the bedrooms. Sill plus sash window narrows it down a bit.

I have nothing to add with respect to identifying locations, but whiting out the faces in photos like has been done above is really creepy!

why chris?  better than putting identifiable photos up on t'interweb do you not think?

genuinely interested in what you think would be a better solution?

thanks for that link martin, that rules out a few (including 9 and 10) 🙂

ta

It's not the reason, which is very reasonable, it's just the particular effect. I think I've seen a music video or something where people's faces were replaced with a scratchy white-out effect and it was very sinister. It was probably a Muse video. Or maybe it was an episode of Doctor Who.

haha, ODG just replied to my room number request, just had a What The ****?? from my mate 😀   its what makes it all worthwhile 😀

However..........

Of the last group the first is looking up Oxendale towards Crinkle Crags

he says this one is wrong..... can we pull it out the bag with a second guess?

OK, it was my "guess" at that. Second guess is looking up Wythburn at the south end of Thirlmere.

Might be pike oblisco rrather than crinkle

<span style="font-size: 0.8rem;">sco rarather th crinkle </span>

does you mate still have no idea of all of this??^^ or is he sat in a mega thread on a parallel forum asking where the hell shall we try next?  genuinly amazed at the detail lurking in some peoples heads
