Thanks JK, I have been doing some triangulation and am pretty convinced we were on the wrong crag. A bit under the weather right now, have Chris for the half term but can't get out much because of the cold. I want to go back up to check this out with a compass and binoculars. It's a fair trek from here so it would be good to wait for a nicer day. Will take some long lens pix of the rocks on the top of the screes which form the escarpment of which Cam Crag is a part. With decent light and a 300mm lens I should be able to identify the exact place. Another expedition!

Been looking on line. It seems that that is a crag walk as well as a location and is very ill defined. Do you have a picture that you have seen and want to retake?

Well, I have been sort of sucked into this project. I saw a photograph on the BBC website of somebody with a full plate camera who had made a black and white, plate photograph of a climber on Cam Crag. The full plate camera immediately sparked my interest as you may imagine. I ran numerous searches which came up with a report on the Guardian website mentioning Cam Crag and the shadows which it projects on the screes. The links are in my first post of this topic. I would like to see and capture these shadows but first I need to identify Cam Crag. I have seen numerous photo's of it taken from the top looking down but none from the bottom looking up. This is the link to the original BBC item which aroused my interest originally. I don't like using their images directly I think it's better to provide links to other photographers images. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cumbria-38570618 The opposite shore of the lake below in the photograph is about where I took the star trail shots. With a little care and some triangulation I should be able to pinpoint Cam Crag from those images.

OK Did a little Google Earth mapping and I think that the first image is actually taken on/at Yewbarrow towards the Wasdale Head end of Wasdale. The camera is pointing across the lake to a very distinct small triangular headland. Do you agree? When I get back to my dest machine in Spain next week. Time permitting, small amount only, I will take another look.

I've been following this as I also know the area very well and have just finished mt 6th film of the little railway at Eskdale just behind your mountains. If you would like a dvd or BluRay copy of my new film Robert please e-mail your address. Attachment: RER2017 dvd Cover.jpg (Downloaded 21 times)

That is most kind Graham, Li'le Ratty, (the pronunciation from South Cumbria!) is one of our favourite destinations. That and the Hardknot - Wrynose passes which provide a through route to Coniston by way of an alternative to the coastal access, although Muncaster and Gawthwaithe have their own charm! This is a photo I took a while back...  Another favourite, closer and much more affordable for us is the small but really enjoyable, Millerbeck railway at Newby Bridge.   Millerbeck is only open odd weekends and bank holidays I think but it's really nice and informal.  Millerbeck website: http://millerbeck.org.uk

I first went to Ratty in 1947 with my father when I was 7 yrs old and have loved it ever since! They show my films in the waiting room and do well with sales in the two shops.

Well I was only born in 1947, making me 'nobut a youngster'! LOL  The Jiffybag plopped onto my porch floor earlier today. Many thanks Graham, I will have to wait a while before I can watch it, none of my computers have DVD/CD drives, I have a DVD player at the bottom of a large pile of 'stuff' temporally removed to make room to renovate my living room. I am looking forward to viewing it as soon as I can.
