Honister Slate Mine, Keswick, Cumbria.

Postcode is CA12 5XN if you want to see how scary the pass is on google earth, or the like.

#-o thought it looked familiar but looking at your location I thought the pic would be from somewhere in the Midlands. I was impressed with your northern looking hills!

Been years since I was up there, will have to do it either this year or early next year. Was meant to go when leading a rideout this summer but errrrrr lost my bearings a bit :stupid:

I have that scene somewhere, with me riding one of my SVs down it. In fact think its one of Miss YCs pics! Easily recognisable

No balti houses here although I could have done with one.......or a large kebab!

Apart from the mine on the left, there was not a lot else to photograph. Did the mine trip though. pretty good.

+1 how odd that its so instantly recognisable I've been up there once, twice max and still knew it straight off.
