Game: Name that road!

[MontyVeda]

I’m wondering if the road is further away from the peak than I think. Hence not finding the view.

Meat Loaf's take on the issue...

Meat Loaf's take on the issue...

That's certainly true when taken with a 200mm lens into a convex mirror, yes

 

[Sea of vapours]

Same view; same place; shorter lens and no mirror.

Looks like the long spine of Dodd under Skiddaw?... so somewhere east of Bassenthwaite Lake?

Yes, Skidaw.

 

[Venod]

Is it Eleventrees, I looked on the laptop, but it didn't seem to match.

 

[Sea of vapours]

You're certainly both in the right area. I'm not sure that it's Skiddaw, or Dodd, but they are both east-ish of the photo location. I think the pointy peak is south of those two, though I could be wrong.

I just found Eleventrees too, and I am sure that it is right!

 

[GuyBoden]

Is it Elentrees, I looked on the laptop, but it didn't seem to match.

I looked at Eleventrees about 20 times, it does look very promising.

I'm going to take that. It is indeed Eleventrees, but about 100m backwards (eastwards) from your location. I'm parked in the first layby near to the entrance gate for the Castlerigg Stone Circle. Here:

I thought the pointy thing was Hopegill Head, but without going back there and taking a bearing on it, I'm not sure (and I'm not about to do that !).

Over to you! (@Venod - but well done @ColinJ and @GuyBoden too).

 

[Venod]

Like Guy I looked at Eleventrees several times, it was the best bet but couldn't be sure.

Zooming makes it clear. Just look at the trees and walls rather than the mountain!

 

[MontyVeda]

I think we have a winner... bit further up the hill by the parking bay. The long lens is distorting SoVs photo a bit (lot)

Well done @Venod I had my Google Map set to Eleventrees.

Good game, difficult, but great scenery, some nice lower level rides too, for the unfit.

I've walked down that lane countless times. I always hop off at Castlerigg when i get the bus up to Keswick and walk down to town. Didn't even know it was called eleventrees
