Scream Point

If you look at the map extract in Extras you will see Scream Point.   This is the next stop on the old  bus route after Whale's Jaw Bones,    in the old days before they built the bypass and the orange road was the main road. Apparently it gets its name because tourists would come round the corner and see their first view of the High Fells and make suitable excited noises about the view.   But  I wonder if its because the bus conductor, after getting his passengers warmed up at Whale's Jaw Bones would then shout out Scream Point and all the passengers duly screamed.  
I wonder if there  are any other Scream Points on the OS maps?   The shot was taken from the hill in the field where the label is , so I was standing on Scream Point and I only screamed that it was bitterly cold, lets go home
