  • Summits

    Although I'm not a climber in any sense, I like visiting hilly and mountainous areas. I'm no more than a hiker, but like to reach the highest point whenever possible.

    My achievements so far are:-

    Highest point in Peak District/East Midlands - Kinder Scout 2,088 ft. (actually a boggy plateau)

    Highest point on North York Moors - Urra Moor 1489 ft.

    Highest Point on Yorkshire Wolds - 807 ft.

    The highest point I've actually 'climbed' to is approximately 7,300 ft. in the Alps. The bottom of the valley was 3,000 ft.
