How about this being taken from somewhere near the National Park centre at Brockhole on Windermere, in a Northerly direction. Wansfell is in the forground, Red Screes is the high point in the centre with the Kirkstone pass to the right of it. |

Hi JEM I think that you might be right! I have dug out my A Wainwright A Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells Book 2 The Far Eastern Fells. In the entry for Wansfell page 7 there is a sketch of Red Screes from the summit of Wansfell which looks very similar to our photograph. On the Wansfell page 6 in the same publication is a view from the summit northwards towards Kirkstone Pass and Caudale Moor where the mountains have a profile similar to that in our photograph. |

I shall put a flag on Loughrigg but I am far from certain with this identification. Can anyone else help please? |

Hi Class31, Sorry to say I'm far from convinced...although I have nothing better to offer. Yours, Katy Britain from Above Cataloguing Team Leader |

The foreground has all of the characteristics of Loughrigg Fell. I shall investigate further tomorrow. |

Could be from position 54°36'30.57" N 3°20'59.52" W heading about 150 deg. towards Grasmoor/Crummock Water, Cumbria, although by no means sure. |

Sorry. I thought it was the Lune Gorge but then decided it wasn't. |
