Some great posts. Thanks for sharing. I'd never picked up that Stolly lived in Three Peaks country

he hasn't always, I think he had to move to keep him from eternal BG fun

. . . my favourite is also Beacon Hill, Leicestershire.

It's Leicestershire's second highest point (no less), at 814ft, . . .

An oft-repeated claim, Josh, but have a look at the OS 1:25000 map:

1. Bardon Hill 278m
2. Birch Hill (near Copt Oak) 254m
3= Beacon Hill 248m
3= Timberwood Hill 248m

For me, it's Clougha Pike. Again some fantastic views on a clear day:- Across Morecambe Bay into the Lake District; up the Lune Valley to the Western Dales & the Howgills; around Black Combe to the I-o-M; down across Liverpool Bay into Snowdonia - there's one point where you can see right through the Menai Straits, between Snowdonia and the lesser hills of Anglesey. Back in the day when I was really keen, I was up there every Saturday morning, pre-breakfast; not to mention many Sunday afternoons & mid-week evenings. Now that I'm doing more cycling than running, I'm mindful of just how long it's been since I was last up there - must get up there, once this cold virus has been got shut of.

Joint third highest! I like it even more now.

The Sugar Loaf. Up there today and, just like Ed, was treated to a spectacular cloud inversion. Grey and gloomy in the valley, sparkling sunshine at the summit. Just fabulous. Back in the day, I ran this 595 metre hill every day as I worked at its base. Now, I just get there whenever I can. I always know if I,m back in the groove if I can get up the steep end without stopping.

The billing as well, again not exactly a mountain but still some good views.

My most frequent is Otley Chevin, I have a 90 min route from home that gets me to the top of surprise view and back.

i'll join in with the shout for the Hunger Hills Horsforth runners. the bluebell woods are beautiful in season.

Bunkers Hill Attachment 8266.

The dizzying heights of 420 ft above sea level. http://sbrtrfr.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/420-2.html
