All about MABeL | Dales Media Library

First things first, if you haven't already why not sign up? Or perhaps you just need to sign in?

Here's a brief introduction to some of the key parts of this site, how it works, and how to find what you need. There's a lot that can't be covered here but let's cover the basics for now.

Search

The best and quickest way to find anything is to use the search bar at the top of every page. This works using keywords. Just start typing and hit enter after every word. When you've added up to three keywords or phrases hit enter again. It's that simple.

Filtering

Another approach would be to filter out unwanted guff on the photos or videos pages using the button in the top right. This is a great way to narrow down your results by fields such as category, popular tags, orientation, and much more.

Just hit the UPDATE RESULTS button at the bottom and watch the magic happen.

Note: Nine Standards Rigg takes its name from the line of cairns which stand on the edge of the escarpment just north of the summit. The origin of the nine “stone men” or columnar cairns on the summit, is a mystery, and some of the cairns, which are about 10 feet tall, are now in a perilous state. According to Wainwright, whose Coast to Coast route crosses the fell, they are very ancient and are marked on 18th century maps. One theory is that they were constructed by the Roman army to look like troops from a distance.
