Coniston Fells

Anonymous, 11 January 2008 09:57

If you stand at the top of Wrynose Pass you’ll see a limestone monolith carved with the word ‘LANCASHIRE’. This is the Three Shire Stone, and it marks the boundary between old Lancashire, Cumberland and Westmorland as it was before the 1974 boundary changes. It also marks the highest link between the Coniston Fells and the rest of the Lake ...

The Scafells

Anonymous, 09 January 2008 16:00

Home to the highest mountain in England (Scafell Pike), of all the mountain massifs in the Lake District there is no other that offers an experience like this. Its crest is wild and untouched, boasting pure wildness and unabated drama. Indeed you would have to look to the fine parts of both Scotland and Wales to find anything to compare...

Ben Nevis

Anonymous, 05 December 2007 13:51

Ben Nevis is a big brute of a mountain. It sits with its feet dangling in the tidal waters of Loch Linnhe and its back resting against its fellow giants, Carn Mor Dearg, Aonach Mor and Aonach Beag. To its side is the angular sweep of Glen Nevis, a glen so deep that in its 15km course around the south ...

Borrowdale

Anonymous, 05 December 2007 11:14

Don’t be deceived by the gentle, wooded nature of Borrowdale, Wainwright’s favourite valley. Strip away the trees and the picturesque houses and drystone walls, and you are left with an impressive array of crags and mountains. Equally, don’t think just because the summits of its western ridge are all within sight of the valley floor that a walk along their ...

The Brecon Beacons

Anonymous, 31 October 2007 15:01

Those romantic, child-like notions we have about mountains rarely come true. You see one from afar and idly trace a line from the base to the summit, straight as you like and totally uncompromising, and just assume that it will be your route. When you actually get onto the route though harsh reality generally kicks in, and well and truly ...

The Glyders

Anonymous, 30 October 2007 17:27

The drive down the A5 in the Ogwen Valley is an enlightening experience: it’s almost like one of those theme park rides where you sit back and listen to the taped commentary as you are carried back to ‘the time of dinosaurs’ or ‘when the west was won’. For wheel-bound folk it’s an opportunity to see at first hand ‘the ...

Ben Macdui

Anonymous, 26 October 2007 14:48

Scotland’s second highest mountain, Ben Macdui was until the survey of 1847 believed by many to be higher than Ben Nevis. The difference is only 35m. The summit is marked by a substantial trig point, which is often almost buried in winter.To the uninitiated, Ben Macdui is the big tick, and its popularity with its steady stream of visitors each day ...
