N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

anyone make sense of these 2 locations ?

Scarf Gap - http://www.lakedistricts.co.uk/fells/west.htm, quote
The 2644 feet high summit of High Stile does not offer the best views in the immediate area. These are found on Red Pike and from the ridge leading to High Crag. The climb is usually approached from Buttermere village, around Bleaberry Tarn to Red Pike and onwards, returning to the shores of Buttermere by way of Scarf Gap Pass. It is a fairly strenuous climb.

Thanks Chris I think I've sorted the locations out now
