 Stunning castleHere's another couple of Ennerdale Water, which is one of the quieter areas in the Lake District. Bill Clinton proposed to Hillary here (she said no). The final scene from 28 days later was also filmed here. image hosted on flickr  image hosted on flickr

Re-sized your image. The re-size option at upload stage, has been discussed within SSC in the recent past, but I can confirm that it is not high on the priorities for potential upgrades at present. |

Cheers NH. Back in the early days of SSC, before the big hack we could use HTML code which gave a lot more options. You could even have text or images scrolling across the screen if you wanted. According to Jan allowing HTML again would just open the doors to hackers so it's off the cards unfortunately.

Great photos . . . My Geography teacher would have LOVED them - they look like perfect examples of his beloved "U-shaped valleys", formed by the Glaciers during the Ice Age, as opposed to the normal "V-shaped valleys", caused by river erosion. HEY - it takes ya back!!! |

Honister Pass:
 The mine:  Image credited to "Censorship Workaround", no real name given Absolutely fascinating history of Honister slate mine. It was resurrected by a local businessman called Mark Weir who worked ridiculous hours to get the mine operational again. After transforming it into a successful business he was killed in a helicopter crash. Read more at: http://www.honister-slate-mine.co.uk...r_tributes.asp Another view of Ennerdale (incorrectly credited as Loweswater):  Both from http://www.wanderingaengustreks.com

Yes the zip line idea was controversial. The main one from Fleetwith pike down to the visitors' centre appears to have been blocked although there does appear to be a smaller zip line along with the "via ferrata" (lit. iron road) - a system of metal steps that allows people with no rock-climbing experience to climb up the cliffs. Looks great, actually. The site quotes about £35-40 which is incredibly cheap compared to something like the Sydney bridge climb.

A couple more from me
Looking East from Haycock towards Scoat Fell: image hosted on flickr  P1090603 by the pointless parasite, on Flickr The Scafell Pikes range from Haycock. The two highest peaks are Scar Fell on the right and Scafell Pikes on the left. These are the second highest and highest mountains in England respectively. image hosted on flickr  P1090601 by the pointless parasite, on Flickr
