Coniston Fells Wildcamping puzzler

Posted by on July 12th 2009 in Great Escapes, Just for fun, Lakes Escapes, Pics, Wildcamping

This weekend's wildie was excellent - a right mixed bag of varying terrain and changing weather. It'll be a few days before the write-up is ready for posting, so, to tide you over, here are a few shots of the two places where I pitched. As usual, there are no prizes for correctly identifying the locations, but it should be an interesting test of how well you think you know the fells around Coniston.

 As usual, there's no prize for correctly identifying them, you just get some kudos for being a smartarse :mrgreen:

A handy little runaround for the outdoors type, no?

It’s the Lidl things that matter

Ex-leper Alms for an ex-leper. Spare a talent for an old ex-leper?

Mandy Buzz off.

Ex-leper Spare a talent for an old ex-leper?

Mandy A talent? That's more than he earns in a month! 

Ex-leper Half a talent then?

Mandy Now go away!

Ex-leper Come on big nose, let's haggle!

Brian What?! 

Ex-leper All right, cut the haggling. Say you open at one shekel, I start at two thousand, we close about eighteenhundred.

I'm sure that you know the rest.

Two pins away from a perfect score:

I must admit that I did the "rail cheat" in the final frame, though.
