I love Mountains, Lakes, Waterfalls etc and Living in London I don't get to see enough of them, not in the flesh, so to speak. Some of my Favourites are The Rhinog Range (North West) Wales and Tryfan, which is in Snowdonia in Gwynedd(North West) Wales. Here's a picture of Tryfan (Wales) in Winter: http://www.uklandscape.net/Dave-Newbould/TryfanDNB17.htm I also love Cahir Conree and Mount Brandon both on the Dingle Peninsula, Kerry, South-West Ireland and loads more. What is your favourite Mountain? Have you been there? What do you know about it-any legends or myths attached to it? Where is it and why do you love it so? Links to pictures of said Mountain(s) would be very much appreciated.
I try to go on driving/camping holiday every summer through wales and scotland. Always go up Snowdon and Ben Nevis. All I know is my knees hurt like hell coming down Ben Nevis. Still, love em though. Most of my photos are in fog. Last time I went up Ben Nevis my digital camera wouldn't play because the batteries were too cold. What really excites me is volcanoes and I want to go climb one before too long. Rgds, David
I live in Nebraska. Only slightly less flat than Kansas. Kansas has been proven to be mathematically flatter than a pancake. Nebraska must be aobut as flat as a pancake. So therefore my favorite mountain is "Dew".
Ben Lomond because I used look out my window and see it almost everyday. I am a bit further away now but can still see the top on a good day. favourite to walk would be the cobbler (Ben Arthur) but I've never been through the eye of the needle. Some lovely hills in the glencoe range I would like to climb as well as the cuillins on Skye
Lots - mainly in the English Lake District Some of our recent trips... Blencathra aka "Saddleback" Bow Fell Helvellyn
I like Ben Glass lovely view of Loch Tay from up there some challenging and easy routes. Goatfell isn't bad for a muck about.
My favorite mountain is Pack Monadnock, in southwestern New Hampshire (not to confused with Monadnock, a nearby slightly higher and much more climbed mountain). It's not a big mountain, or very dramatic, but the view from the top is lovely, and this is a mountain just about anyone can climb, without any special equipment. You can make almost the entire ascent upright; only a couple of places where you have to crawl up (this is an important consideration when you're by yourself). I've been to the top many times (always climbed; I've never used the auto road). If I can find any of the photos I've taken of it, I'll try to post a picture.
Denali Eiger Europe Kosiosko Australia Himalayas Been up them? Yes No but close Ofcause,its so small you can jog it in summer Seen from China and Nepal side. Why do I like them? Nature and the enviroment rules
Carder Idris in Wales Snowdon Snowdon again These are from my friends website, he took them when he went walkies up that area. Brecon Beacons are my favourite bit of Wales, or just the local mountains around my home. Very peaceful and quiet up there.
Mt. Norman, in Girraween National Park (I can't find a photo) The reason: It is a challenging climb to the top, but achievable to anyone with decent fitness, and the view from the top is absolutely breathtaking. Granite boulders, and Australian bushland as far as the eye can see.
Certainly not Ben Nevis!! Like David said, it really does your knees in, and there's never any visibility beyond the first section. Having said that, I got a cracking picture of it in May when the weather was gorgeous. I'll try and post it when I get chance. I really love Ben Lomond because of the views around it. I think it's got a really peaceful to it. Also, I really like the walk up Blencathra in the Lake District. My Mum lives up by the Pennines in Cumbria, so I like the hills there, although you can't exactly call them mountains, more like hills, I suppose.
