Is that the great north run or something? Not a castle I recognise. It's Norman. The side buildings resemble northern mills, but stonework doesn't suggest Scotland. So we're still in England. But north of Manchester. But close enough to Scotland for some scot stone to be used.

Many stone keeps were built on roman fortifications, so I'm thinking a northern city with roman origins.

Looking at the other buildings and the colour of the stone, I'm going for an area. it's in a blob of England with Carlisle and Newcastle at the top, Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool at the bottom.

Somewhere in that area. I can't be more specific. I'd plump for Newcastle because of the great north run thingy. But I refuse to venture further north than Birmingham, it's scary and full of barbarians.

The start sign says "Rat Race". One of those Extreme/Adventure race things. I think you're right about the Scottish borders thing, though.

Don't think it's great north run, too many camelbaks. Is it something like man v mountain or man v lakes?

My first thought was Alnwick Castle.

It looks familiar and I'd agree with the 'northern' assumption. Bamburgh? It's almost thirty years since I was there...

Very well deduced, it's Carlisle Castle. I'd have given it you but Fluff got it spot on...

Will let you fight for it.

It was Rat Race's The Wall, Carlisle to Newcastle run. It followed Hadrian's Wall which I was going to post a pic of but I thought too easy.

A bit of an obscure one for you as I only need the country. The top pile is worth $92 after paying for my hotel room with a $100 bill and getting the change in the local currency. eek
