well, just as a filler in, who can get this one?
Not a “ski area” as there are no permanent lifts. But there are some folk who go cross country here.

As I suspected, it’s the Lake District. And I’ve now worked out which bit - Blencathra, etc.

@Marksky, that's it. The three ridges in the foreground are the ones that run up from the A66 (which is just below the snow line) and you can make out Scales Tarn and Sharp Edge just to the right of the three ridges. Skiddaw at the back, top centre

@albob, sorry, looks like you put the work in for the glory to be snatched away. Probably like tonight's football match will be.......
