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!
