Where's the Pike?

Little lump on the Left is the pike, the TV mast is Winterhill transmitting mast

Used to love the Easter walk up Rivvy when a kid to the Pike...

Cycled up the road there 3 times as part of Ironman UK, think they’ve cut the steep bit out of the route now.

When I was about 10 walking up the Pike I saw a naked couple shagging in the woods, first time I'd seen owt like that 'live'!

Last time I was up the pike I was searching for bodies.
