Mrs E.F. (Manchester),

Really pleased to hear you've managed to get away to the Lakes.

OK, since you asked so nicely ;), I'll wait for 24 hours for you to hand in your homework before posting the answer.

As it happens, I'm out this evening, so couldn't post at 7pm. ::)

David

Now they were easy peasy...lemon squeezy dont you think? ;D ;D ;D

8. Southern Fells PG: On which page ( found on a page with the fell name & height on )…..does AW say this: ‘’……..there rises from the heather a series of serrated peaks,, not of any great height, but together forming a dark and jagged outline against the sky that, seen from certain directions, arrest the eye as do the Black Coolin of Skye’’

9. Southern Fells PG: Summits: Fill in the missing words ‘’ Here however, on the highest point of --------, was one of singular elegance, a graceful --- ---- ----- that quite put to shame the squat and inartistic edifice crowning the neighbouring very superior ------- ----‘’

10. Far Eastern Fells PG: Which summit ‘’may well claim to have the sharpest summit in Lakeland’’ ?

11. Found in one of the PG’s:…Lakes and Tarns: Which PG and on what page?

From the main cairn:
NNE: Ullswater
From the south cairn:
S: Hayeswater
WSW:Brothers Water
From the West cairn

WSW: Brothers Water
WNW: Angle Tarn

12. Northern PG: What page can this be found:
‘’Willywood Well is a spring about ten paces from the road near some rocks’’

Extra special star for anyone who has found Willywood well..you gotta have a photo of it to prove youve been there!! ;D
If no one has………….A prize for the first of us to find it and take a pic…….. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Lesley....who must remember not to throw away the answers!! cos I always do.....then panic when trying to be a teacher and do the marking! :P :P
