The skyline in the photo is the race route from Pillar, over Scoat Fell, Haycock, Caw, Iron Crag.
The day before this photo was taken was race day, and i'd had to run the entire skyline and more with one shoe after a bit of a footwear-malfunction on Green Gable.
Right.... another one...

Stupid question but how do you guys link pictures? I can post a picture already with an url on the internet okay but can't post any picture direct from my own photo library.
In the Quick Reply box, there's a load of logos along the top. 3rd one in from the right is for images. "choose file", then select the file, then "upload file".Quote:

Thanks I think its my file size that's the problem :rolleyes:
I'm wondering if the prominent peak on the left of the picture is Grisedale Pike, with the forestry plantation around Whinlatter Pass in front of it, and part of the Vale of Lorton visible on the right.Quote:

That’s close enough. It’s actually at 833 779, another small hillock with a cairn just west of the trig. We call it Cosh Knott up there or High Green Field. Unfortunately the resolution of the picture is a bit crap but it has one of the best views of the meeting up of Ribblesdale and Chapel le Dale with Ingleborough, Simon Fell and Park Fell on the horizon to the left, Whernside on the right with Ribblehead Vuaduct plonked in betweenQuote:

Possibly somewhere at the top of the climb out of Warnscale Bottom, with Hay stacks front and right and Fleetwith Pike behind you?Quote:

Yes, both correct, Fleetwith Pike summit. A lovely run up from Honister... if i remember correctly i then went over Haystacks, down Scarth Gap and along the Ennerdale Valley to Ennerdale Bridge. A scorching day that required a dip in the river in Ennerdale.
It was a tap in to be fair.Quote:

Pete i think you are on "that climb" up Yearlet on the Long Mynd Valleys route, approx 325m height. GR 436931Quote:

DaveMole will get this straight away if he's reading...
The race may not have been on in the conventional form! ;-)
Ah, trick question!!Quote:

I will revise my answer to the adjacent slope of Ashlet, that nice easy starter-climb on the Callow race!
approx 350mtrs, GR 440 928
Spot on. It sure is a great way to start a race.Quote:

Wonderful names for all these summits on the Long Mynd: Ashlet, Yearlet, Grindle, Nills, Callow, . . .
I'm thinking of giving that a go sometime soon but not before spring next year. I can definitely see the wheels coming off if that climb is 3 hours in. It's thankfully not as bad as Yearlet though. That has to be the toughest in the area from either the LMVs or Callow direction.Quote:

But yes, none of the climbs are as bad as Yearlet from any direction...!

Another one from me. A famous view, but does any one know it?!?
Are you near Camasunary by the river coming out of Loch na Creitheach with Blabheinn (Blaven) in the cloud on the right?Quote:
