Height about 650m

Well I think the vantage point is from just S of bridge marked on the map, and the bridge we can see is not on map. However, I feel like we might be looking at the three re-entrants running S/SE from between Pinnacle Bield and South Crag, and the angle seems wrong, unless foreshortening going on.

Not especially confident on this one

Same answer /same reasoning as Rob (I hadn't looked at any replies before I reached that conclusion 😀). Know that spot well - my in-laws used to leave 500m NW of the -1 spot height.

Green circle is kink in track and Heild End farm

🔭🐑 The first lambs have arrived, and spot on time from consort sightings in November! Soon village bay will be full of skipping lambs and frantic field workers....🏃‍♀️‍➡️

Sorry to hear this Marty - very much their loss, and best of luck for the future.

Good to see a set of questions on long-running biology experiments on #universitychallenge tonight.

Circle 375m, others 325m

Interested in working on the evolution of genetic architecture 🧬 of complex traits using linked-read sequencing of thousands of common lizards 🦎 from a wild population and common garden experiment?

Well, I have a PhD offer for you 👇

I did wonder if it was from nearer the S>N running stream about 1km SW from there.

Trickier one today (for me at least!)

I think here, although perhaps would have expected the map to show a stream entering the reservoir at this point, given what looks like an inflow right in front of you.

Elevation ~405m on flatter ground below cliff, ~420m above it

Not at all confident with this one.

Ah, just seen the other answers and I walked into the spot height trap! 🤦‍♂️

Found this one tough today. Trig at 422m and circled feature at 388m? Transmission mast cunningly concealed behind trig?

My candidate for worst name ever would be a restaurant (now closed I think) called 'Second girlfriend'

Extinction of experience among ecologists Fieldwork-based research and education in ecology are under multiple threats and are progressively declining. We call for greater attention to this ongoing loss of direct field experience within the e...

Unsurprisingly I am very much in agreement with this article. I've put a lot of effort in recently to prevent the undermining of field-based teaching, including pointing out the invisible subsidy that field-based teaching (& research) provide other teaching & research

An evening film as well! Perhaps we're missing a trick this year?

Photo taken from approx the 'N' in The Nibs. Other features - small valley dropping into Hall Dale from the SW; Tumulus SW of Raven's Tor with distinctive spur running SE; higher elevation just WSW of Stanshope Pasture; pattern of walls fits e.g. the one just S of Ravens Tor.
