taken 3 years ago, 5 km ENE of South Stainmore, Cumbria, England

Fences meeting at West Mere
Fences meeting at West Mere
The location and the boundary stone at the fences' meet is known as West Mere; it's in an area of featureless moorland and bog. The fence line running away is heading near to east; the other fencing follows the boundary between Cumbria and County Durham, but according to 1:25 000 mapping, here it runs slightly inside Durham territory.
Mapping at the 1:50 000 scale suggests that the boundary angle is just inside grid-square NY8814 but at the 1:25 000 scale it's clearly to the east of that: a GPS reading confirms it.
