Some Mountains,
Hills
and Summits of Great Britain
These pages
feature
some of the many mountains, hills, fells, summits and high points in
Britain.
The criteria for inclusion are that (1) I've climbed the hill in
question,
and (2) that I've taken a photo at the summit. Wherever possible there
is also a picture of the hill from a neighbouring summit or adjacent
valley,
or a picture of the view from the top.
See the
home
page for an explanation of the status terms (Munro, Corbett, Marylin,
Hewitt,
et al).

Yoke
Location: Lake
District,
Far Eastern Fells
Grid Ref: NY
437067
Height: 2316 ft (706
m)
Status: Wainwright,
Hewitt,
Nuttall
Notes: Yoke is a
prominent top, the most southerly on the ridge between Troutbeck and
Kentmere. As such it is well seen in views northwards from Windermere.
The usual approach is via the Garburn pass between Kentmere and
Troutbeck, and most walkers will not simply climb Yoke but will go on
to walk the ridge to High Street or to complete the Kentmere horseshoe.
The best views are to the west and northwest where the Scafell /
Bowfell massif and the Fairfield group form the skyline. |

Ysgyryd Fawr
Location: Black
Mountains
Grid Ref: SO
331182
Height: 1594 ft (486
m)
Status: Marilyn,
Clement
Notes: This hill is
situated roughly three miles northeast of Abergavenny. The ascent is
simple; go through the gate off the road and follow the path up through
the trees and out onto the north-south ridge until you reach the trig
point. It's a hill that appears to be popular with families (although
maybe that's because I chose to climb it on Easter Sunday). Sugar Loaf
and Blorenge dominate the view, which otherwise consists largely of the
pastoral countryside of Monmouthshire.
