We're above a well-known dale.

I think you've used this before, but I'm not going to trawl through all your posts to find it. I'll guess above Dovedale.

Doh. Quite likely used either the same or similar, running out of English stuff except for things that are too local for a national quiz based north of the Border.

Yep. Dovedale.

Thanks Mal, reminds me that it's 50 years since I was last in Dovedale "tempus fugit. :shock:

No answers yet, but I'm slightly confused myself! I think the photo was taken from a different spot than I'd initially thought. It's from the summit of a non-Wainwright Birkett. The mountain in the centre is Grasmoor...

I had Grasmoor, but couldn't work out the viewpoint. I'm too idle to get the maps out but I'll have another scout around for a possibility.

Yes Steve I think that's the one. I originally thought it was Blake Fell, but that day I wondered down to point 533 on Carling Knott, thinking it was another Wainwright. I think the view is from the shelter cairn on Carling Knott, rather than Blakey.
