OS Map of Hollow Moor (Green Quarter Fell)

Quite the coincidence.
Quite the coincidence.

Last week I posted a photo of an Edward VII post box that I came across in Malta. Whenever I post on Flick I like to do a little research and in this case ascertained that there are just 59 such postboxes in England. Guess what? Near enough the first thing I came across yesterday when starting a hike in the remote village of Kentmere was another Edward VII postbox. It's good to see that there are still daily collections in this far flung corner of Lakeland.

The other photos have been geo-tagged as on or around the summit. For less busy mountains, it can be a little hit and miss.
