Skiddaw, Longside Edge & Lonscale Fell

A mixed day for a first climb of one of the Lakeland giants. skiddaw.gpx Longside Edge makes a terrific approach route (albeit only gained by a breathtakingly steep path up from the roadside, almost too much before the calves are loosened up…) - a great path along the gently climbing rocky ridge, wi...

High Seat (Mallerstang), Nine Standards Rigg

A sunny day of walking among the rounded lumpy hills of the northern Dales, firstly up High Seat from the Mallerstang valley. high seat.gpx As so often in Yorkshire, the walking through the dales – like the short riverside stroll to Outhgill - is easy and picturesque. From there, things get tougher ...

Re: Where's The Picture? - Wales (part 2)

Perhaps it is a less 'ugly' side of the 'Ugly House??

Red Screes from Scandale

A day among the less-visited of the Eastern Fells, in heat that made a gentle-looking route rather a test. Red Screes.gpx There’s what might be quite a ‘secret’ little free parking area halfway up the Kirkstone road from Ambleside – certainly there was no-one there either at the start or end of this...

Re: snowdon in the sun

Lovely, mrssanta - somehow your beautiful pictures seem to cast a new light on this very familiar route.

Re: Where's The Picture? - Wales (part 2)

I think I've managed to rather sever this thread with a lowish lump (the Blorenge, sitting over Abergavenny).

So, anyone who has a Welsh picture and wants to kick things off again, please go ahead!

Grasmoor & Whiteside

Finally, a decent weekend day and a chance to head for the Lakes for a beautiful (but quite gruelling - months of tramping round the Dales and Peak does rather make you forget what a steep climb feels like) circuit of Grasmoor and its neighbouring fells. grasmoor.gpx From Lanthwaite Green, the climb...

Re: Where's The Picture? - Wales (part 2)

Sorry, I'd forgotten I was keeping this on hold! It's the biggest town around the Black Mountains, and your first effort was not far away, even though looking in almost completely the wrong direction....

Re: Where's the pic (England) v3

Well, it doesn't really look big enough, but it is brown and round. And has a range named after it... The Cheviot perhaps then?

Re: Where's The Picture? - Wales (part 2)

Not there either; your first try was closer. Not just houses, but a whole town at the foot of this hill (which is not a Hewitt)....

The Roaches & Lud's Church, Shutlingsloe

Exploring two of the distinctive peaks on the western edges of the Peak District... The Roaches' extensive ridge makes for good walking on a nice sand-and-rock path, steep climbs at the eastern end (or an easy bypass path) first, more undulations on the lower western extension. Forest Wood is a plea...

Re: Where's The Picture? - Wales (part 2)

Thanks, quite pleased with myself there!

Well, mine rarely even last 13 minutes..., so this is an attempt at a rare half-challenging one... What hill am I looking at?

Re: Where's The Picture? - Wales (part 2)

Not much! but I like an uninformed guess anyway... Are you on Y Garn looking towards Plynlimon??
