Ideal is 960px wide by 200px high.  This means that any existing photos will need to be cropped (eventually)
  - Mountains and lakes make a good, natural subject
  - Typically, the Lake District mountains can be gloomy so a neutral or blue sky is ideal

Procedure
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
 1.   Find a photograph of a suitable subject (e.g. using 'Photographs of derwentwater' as a search term in Google)

 2.   Save the whole photo on local computer
      (I had actually tried to do a crop and then a resize to 960px/200px.  and the other way around.
       This does not produce the sharpest picture)

 3.   Use inbuilt software ('Windows Live Photo Gallery') to crop photos.  You can resize later.

Variants
