A new installation in the lakes. Can anyone spot/identify where it is? "‘Borrowdale Banksy’ mystery leaves mark on the fells" thetimes.co.uk

It's not the easiest one to locate and I believe there might be some local sensitivities, as a person was quite seriously injured while climbing up to it. I even heard it might be knocked down, but it's still there at the moment.

Is he going to give it a try Lizzie? It's a tough little day out 🙂 I did it for the second time recently, however I'm still not happy with how things went. I can feel a third try in the offing!

He hasn't been north of the Watford Gap this year, so needed to get his fell legs back.

Somewhere you can confidently ask "which is the best chip shop in Keswick?" and expect an intelligent reply.

Lots of experience and good advice available here, from which B & B or YHA to the best fell for Grandma to climb :-)
