Lake District National Park Travel Forum

Hi,

last week we went for a 4 day stay in Coniston. On Sunday 19th Nov the sun was out, and while driving down the A593, from Coniston towards Skelwith Bridge, I took the following photos:

Trouble is, I'd like to know the names of the mountains we were looking towards.

Does anyone know?

Thanks

Jim

Hi - in case anyone's interested, I got the answer:

The first is looking across the Red Bank area between Loughrigg, on
the far right, and Silver How. I think on the horizon, reading from
the left, are Blea Rigg, Great Castle How, the southwest side of
Silver How, then Spedding Crag. The horizon is now in the far
distance, the crest above Browncove Crags, Helvellyn Lower Man,
Helvellyn itself where the cloud is coming down, then the misleadingly
large bulk of Seat Sandal obscuring Nethermost and Dollywagon Pikes.
Part of Dollywagon, the Falcon and Tarn Crag areas can be seen to the
right of Seat Sandal before the unmistakeable gap of Grisedale Hause.
Then there's Fairfield with its summit just in cloud, Greatrigg Man
with Greenhead Gill on its slopes, Erne Crag and the prominent Heron
Pike. The ridge then descends to Nab Scar which is largely or totally
hidden by Loughrigg. In the near distance in glowing sunshine, Dow
Bank is in front of Helvellyn and the fell in front and slightly to
the right of Grisedale Hause is Huntingstile Crag.

Image 2 has Great Rigg at its centre, Greenhead Gill is unmistakeable.
Alcock Tarn, a popular walk from Grasmere, is just behing those
orange-coloured mounds just to the right of the gill.

Ha, thanks, I was interested but didn't have a clue where they were. It is a great area of Britain, I love it round the Lakes.
