Top 3

1) Scafell Pike from Crinkle Crags Summit - Night Time! Scafell pike is historic, gets my vote here

2) Best night of the year for me - All alone, and top of Helvellyn - 3rd Tallest Mountain in England 3009ft

3) Best Morning of the year - Top of Englands highest mountain - Scafell Pike - When Cloud took over post 10AM I made it intime to see stuff like this!

More to follow im sure.. if you have any yourselves - post em up! would love to see em!

(even if its an IOU £120!!)

It would change Sunday Morning though, to see Ricky Hattons Hand Held up Victorious would be the picture of the decade. GWANN RICKY!!

i once added a small rock to that [buggered if i can remember the correct name for a mountainside collection of boulders agglomerated by hikers] on scafell pike. it is nice to see a picture of it again. cheers MJD

MJD, am i right in thinking that the tallest are:
SCO ben nevis
ENG scafell pike
WAL helvellyn

if so i have climbed them all. mind you that was before i smoked like a chimney or drank like a fish. still it is good for the CV and kudos to my folks for dragging me up those bastards. if not then my parents led me a merry dance when i was a nipper and they are off my Christmas card list.

just at the moment i haven't got the get-up-and-go to climb the stairs in the underground but that is my bad. good stuff MJD.

Your Right, Except for Wales which is 'Snowdon' (or Snowdonia)

Aint been up Nevis or Snowdon yet, really cant wait!

Helvellyn is in England also, Famed for its Party-piece 'Striding Edge' Which is one Awesome experience

ah that's the fella. my bad. iirc snowdon has a little cottage half way up. there was a joke shop for kids like me and a boozer for my parents. i probably got a lemonade and a bag of salt&vinegar. and a whoopee cushion which is still giving a "real bronx cheer". happy days

)

the day after me and my bro went to llangorstat (i'm sure that is spelled wrong) railway but we went across to anglesey for LLANFAIR...GOGOCH which fascinated me even then. i'd like to do it again if i wasn't so frightfully unconditioned

sounds epic

I think you can get high levels of adrenaline from Mountain Climbing. Helvellyn delivers excitement in spades

Striding Edge, Definately one of the best places in the world up there

I like the racing one's.
I took a few at Wetherby a few week's ago, i transfered them to the computer.............then........had major problem's with the pc, had to wipe the lot. Never mind, that's my excuse to the missus, to go back racing and get some photo's.

Good thinking! would be good to see em..

Only been to Ponte, Carlisle, and Haydock..

the best track out of those is Haydock, but that Carlisle night was a one off! it was Ladies night but I was gorping at the sunset much much more!!
