I'm certainly not claiming it's seldom visited ! Just had a nostalgic moment & had to put a post up. In one direction you can see the riots in Bradford & in the other the beautiful Ilkley Moors. What a contrast.
What are you talking about? That's what we call a hill in Suffolk. (Glad to be in Yorkshire now)Originally Posted by Tussockface
That's serious nosebleed altitude compared to this one:

Meanwhile my local one when growing up in the flatlands of 'Bicestershire' was....

Good pic.
Bugger! You've annoyed me now as I've never been to that trig. I have been over that ridge from Foxup and down into Langstrothdale but I think I followed the path to the west over Eller Carr
visited Pale Heights/aka Hangingstone Hill/aka Eddisbury Hill the other week:

I didn't have a camera with me, but it was far more overgrown than in the above link - you'd've needed a machete to get to it
lots of people get up there, but I'm not sure how many know there's a trig tucked in next to the water tower
it used to get a bit of traffic from summit-baggers, as it was considered to be the local HuMP (Hundred Metre Peak)
but it was re-measured recently and stripped of this status in favour of the nearby High Billinge
Just to be contrary, here's one near my mum's house that is anything but seldom visited!
