The mountaineer Chris Bonington has surveyed some breathtaking panoramas from the highest summits of the world, but his favourite view lies nearer to home. High Pike in the Lake

District is, by Chris’s standards, a modest 2,159ft high. It lies close to the mountaineer’s house, and he regularly walks his dog on this fell in the northern part of the Lake District. Helen Mark joins Chris on a climb of High Pike, and he tells her why he loves the view from the top.
