a winter's day in the lake district

YC spent an enjoyable couple of days in The Lake District. After a jog up to Angle Tarn in the snow on Friday, he re-hydrated with the odd half of ale in The Dog & Gun (Keswick) with John Telfer in the evening. On Saturday he ventured forth with John T and Paul Appleby to blow off the cobwebs with a run around some of the north-western fells. The day was superb - no wind, high clouds, and a few inches of snow above 1,000 feet.

He took the new banner photo (above) from Maiden Moor. Can any reader name the central peak (and indeed any others) in the banner photo? There's no prize but a pint of the necessary might await any correct entries.

Paul - I don't think the summit bar on Ard Crags sells real ale
John - what? Taxi to The Dog & Gun!
