Doesn't help. Looks like the Lodden Range maybe? Or maybe not. I know the ridge but can't fit a definite name to it.

No.
If it is, that doesn't help because I can't think of a spot on a popular track where you'd get that view of it. And if it isn't, that helps even less.

ETA: Unless I'm looking at it the wrong way around and this is from somewhere on the Frenchmans Track?

That explains a lot. Thanks.

Not on a specific point so just name the nearest major landmark (which is reasonably close).

I was wondering if you had intended to say something else!

This week it's been technology:8, Tortoise:1. But I didn't nick your comment. A solution: my photo shouldn't be hard for you to pick. Then put yours back up. :)

Can't be bothered dealing with that one again - it's a cropped image from a bit below Mersey Crag.
(The wind yesterday had power and internet dropping in and out - mostly out - for most of the day, so I''m blaming that.)

I see something that looks like Picton behind something I don't recognise behind something that looks a bit like the Dragon (the one on the Beggary Bumps) but probably isn't.

You're right, it isn't. Not humungously far away, though. I can see the likeness with Picton, but Picton isn't on the end of a long plateau.
