Imgur appears to have un-fucked itself.  Strap in, this is gonna be a big one.  By my standards.

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.

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.

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!
