Craig Sawyers Posted January 6, 2017 Report Posted January 6, 2017 Liked the image from Loughrigg (pronounced Luff-rigg) Fell, a small (1000 foot) but worthwhile hill above the town of Ambleside, Been up several times. Currently been up 74 of the Lakeland fells over the years to October 2016.
moray james Posted January 6, 2017 Report Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) Thanks knuckledragger post like these really make my day. Very much appreciate your taking the extra time to identify so many of your picture locations. These are what bring me here every day. Carly Simon said it best when she sang " nobody does it better". Craig: lucky to be you Loughrigg Fell looks like a fairy tail and reminds me or reading the adventures of the Rupert books a s child. Edited January 6, 2017 by moray james

Dusty Chalk Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 My dream...except I wouldn't be keeping the non-growing-things yard so neat and tidy, I'd just pave it over with shrubberies. And there'd be anti-aircraft. Okay, maybe my dream is less of a farm and more of a bunker/evil lair. Also -- how in hell do I not know who Laurie Spiegel is? (wanders off to look her up)
Craig Sawyers Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 Took me a while to understand the perspective, then I realised that it was a view from the *top* of Raven Crag looking roughly North down Thirlmere (note - not Lake Thirlmere, because a mere is a lake. So it is simply Thirlmere. Pedantic mode = off). So on the left are the slopes of the Helvellyn range. In the left middle distance is Seat Sandal (and above it the shoulder of if Stone Arthur and Great Rigg. And facing Seat Sandal on the right (with the concave shape) is Steel Fell. In the gap between the two is a low pass called Dunmail Raise (Dunmail was an local chieftan). Just to the right of the view point is Bleaberry Fell and High Seat. In the far distance you can see Loughrigg Fell - the subject of another of Knuck's postings. Incidentally, it is one of those trick questions - how many Lakes are in the Lake District? Answer - one. Bassenthwaite Lake. All the remaining fifteen bodies of water in the Lake District are Meres, Waters and Tarns. 1
Craig Sawyers Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 I like that this guy is still alive. I have no idea how or why that should be the case.

Craig Sawyers Posted January 11, 2017 Report Posted January 11, 2017 8 hours ago, Dusty Chalk said: I need that last one. Apparently this is a lifesaver. So your ship goes down or plane crashes the sea. You get into the bubble rather than using a buoyancy aid. Oddly I kind of get this - it is common to put something similar to that in the bottom of your pack when walking in the wilderness. When the weather turns nasty you pull the thing out and get into it (personal versions and larger ones for up to ten). The idea is to keep the wind and water/snow off you, and are essential in case of injury.. I have both. They pack really small. They are brightly coloured so emergency rescue can find you. Similar problem in the water - the bubble would go a long way to prevent hypothermia. Some of the other ones above - I have absolutely no idea at all! 1
Dusty Chalk Posted January 11, 2017 Report Posted January 11, 2017 Oh. I thought it was a portable environment so that I didn't have to breathe the air. Maybe I should get a space suit.

Craig Sawyers Posted January 12, 2017 Report Posted January 12, 2017 I say to Mrs S, who speaks a little Spanish "what gender is Agua?" "Feminine" "so what article is used with it" "El". OK - so now I'm flummoxed "OK - drop the boot; why does it use masculine El with feminine Agua" "Because it begins with an A" I gave up at that point.
