There’s no place like...
We asked you which mountain feels most like home. You said:
Nigel Summersby
Always Snowdon for me. I was almost put off by how busy it was on our first ascent though. Got to know Snowdon intimately over the years. I may be an Englishman but my heart belongs to Wales...
Steve Mosley
Kinder Scout – talk to it nicely and it welcomes everyone and sends you home with memories to treasure.
Jamie Bassnett
Kinder, as from it I can see my homeland – the People’s Republik of Mancunia – yet it seems worlds apart.
Smiley Joface
Ingleborough – can see the Dales, the sea, the Howgills, the Lakes, Pendle and the pub.
Steve Mattok
Kinder Scout. Been walking and scrambling all over it for years. I always take a map and compass... but they rarely come out of the pack as I know most routes blindfolded.
Gary Owen
Great Gable and the Climbers‘ Traverse route for me. Quiet, stunning views and some fun scrambling along the way and up to the summit.
Mikey K Roberts
Elidir Fawr. If mountains were pubs that would be my local.
Sonya Coulter
Slieve Commedagh in the Mournes.
Alasdair Roberts
Baosbheinn, Scotland. It's the first mountain I can actually remember climbing as a kid. I have been back many times over the years. It will always be special.
Lee Simpson
Windy Gyle, Northumberland National Park – not as dramatic as others but climbed many times and usually in solitude.
Philip Holden
Thorpe Cloud. Reminds me of Dovedale car park picnics and disappearing for afternoon adventures as a child.
Gavin Mascall
Has to be Tryfan for me, I love the Ogwen Valley but I always come back to Tryfan.
Nick Livesey
Moel Siabod, the mountain I turn to when I want to walk straight from my door... over 50 ascents and counting!
Laura Bennett
Loughrigg, barely bigger than a molehill, but fantastic view over Windermere and up to the Fairfield Horseshoe.
Lee Pendlebury
Scafell Pike's the best, but it does get busy sometimes. I always feel great when I get to the top, relaxing on the summit, having my sandwich and watching fellow walkers reaching the trig point. I could stay there forever, must have climbed it 10 plus times.
Jayne Moyle
Crimpiau – as much as I love the Snowdonia biggies, the views from Crimpiau never fail to take my breath away!
