The Mystery Pyramid of Skiddaw

I have just returned from a few days in the Lake District where I was staying in some lodges near Keswick at the foot of the wonderful mountain of Skiddaw. Being a seasoned hiker in the Lakes I know and love the ever changing moods of the mountains.

However, there is a particular view of Skiddaw, in certain light conditions that reveals a mystery, the Pyramid. The photographs show the distinct lines heading up into the clouds and yet if the light changes, the Pyramid disappears.

These photos are genuine and I would suggest that if you are a doubter spend some time near the roundabout where the A591 and the A66 part (at Keswick) looking at Skiddaw. Eventually I can guarantee the Pyramid will appear (except in low cloud, please use your common sense). Good hunting, watch out for the Stargate.
