Bleaberry
Fell
Location: Lake
District,
Central Fells Notes: Bleaberry Fell is the northernmost top of the ridge that stretches northwards from the Langdale Pikes between Derwentwater and Thirlmere. It is an excellent viewpoint for Keswick itself and also shows Skiddaw, Grizedale Pike and the Eel Grag group off to great advantage. The fell can be climbed from Keswick via Walla Crag in just over an hour. Walla Crag (to the north) and Falcon Crag (to the west) both have superb views over Derwentwater. The path southwards to High Seat and High Tove is rather boggy. |

Blease Fell
Location: Lake
District,
Northern Fells Notes: Blancathra's far west top. The summit is not really significant, except as Blencathra's best viewpoint for Keswick and Derwentwater. Rather it's the vast, convex grassy slope that descends to the Glenderaterra valley to the west that is well known, for it's this face that Blencathra presents to Keswick, and this face that a substantial majority of fellwalkers choose for their descent from the ridge back to Threlkeld. It's sheer tedium and is hell on the knees and calves, but everyone seems to agree that it would be far worse as an ascent. If you do climb Blencathra this way, Blease Fell summit will be a little piece of heaven. |

Blencathra
(a.k.a.
Saddleback)
Location: Lake
District,
Northern Fells Notes: Saddleback may be the popular name for this splendid fell, but Blencathra is its proper name and it's known as such to all serious fellwalkers. It's the eastern neighbour of Skiddaw in Lakeland's northern fells, and towers over the village of Threlkeld at its foot. From Clough Head (top picture) Blencathra is revealed as a ridge with several tops, each with a supporting buttress falling to the Keswick - Penrith gap below. The highest top is Hallsfell, at the eastern end of the ridge. Surprisingly, there is no trig pillar, just a simple cairn. The easiest way up is by the well-trodden path from Scales up the eastern shoulder of Scales Fell. The superb views take in most of Lakeland and the northern Pennines. |

Botley
Hill
Location: North
Downs, Surrey Notes: Boring name, boring hill. Botley Hill is the highest part of that section of the North Downs straddling the meeting point of London, Kent and Surrey (and as such is the nearest Marylin to London), but the summit itself is a disappointment. The top of the downs here is flat, and the highest point lays within a pasture grazed by sheep. A road runs right past the trig point, which is just the other side of the hedge (and, to the chagrin of purist summit baggers, is not actually at the highest point which is some thirty metres away within the pasture). There is no view. The surrounding countryside is very pleasant, however, and you could justify a visit to Botley Hill by walking a local section of the North Downs Way (which passes only a few hundred metres away) and taking in this "summit" as an afterthought. |

Bowscale Fell
Location: Lake
District,
Northern Fells Notes: Bowscale Fell is a lonely summit standing northeast of Blencathra, its parent fell, in the north of the Lake District. It's a grassy dome tucked in between loops of the Calder and Glenderamackin rivers, and is probably best climbed from the path along Bannerdale from the village of Mungrisedale to the east. The most obvious features of the view are the vast "Back o' Skiddaw" wilderness to the northwest and the arresting sight of Blencathra just west of south. There's also a good view eastwards towards the northern Pennines on clear days. |

Bynack
More
Location: Scottish
Highlands,
Cairngorms Notes: Bynack More (or Ben Bynack, or Beinn Beithneag, or Caiplich) lays in the north west of the Ben Macdui massif of the central Cairngorms, the highest range of mountains in Britain. It's the highest point of a vaguely wedge-shaped piece of land lying between Strath Nethy and the Lairg an Laiogh. Like most of the Cairngorms it's a vast, gently-rolling upthrust of pink granite carpeted by mosses and short, wiry grasses. It's superb, easy walking terrain although quite remote. The easiest ascent is from Loch Morlich via the Ryvoan pass and the Lairg an Laiogh, a distance of 8½ miles involving 2600 ft of ascent. Views of the central and eastern Cairngorms, some of the grandest scenery in Britain, are superb. |

Caer
Caradoc Location: Shropshire Hills Grid Ref: SO 477953 Height: 1506 ft (459 m) Status: Marilyn Notes: A dramatic and craggy little hill standing a couple of miles northeast of Church Stretton in Shropshire. The normal route of approach is by a path rising up the eastern flanks from the south - avoid the direct route from Church Stretton as the lane adjacent to New House Farm is atrocious, but instead take the farm track and bridleway east of Helmeth Hill. The summit is unmarked and any one of half a dozen craggy outcrops could be the highest point. The earthworks on the summit are the remains of an iron age hill fort, claimed to be the last stand of Caractacus in his battles against the Roman invaders (though that battle probably took place elsewhere). The expedition from the town takes just 65 minutes and the reward is a glorious view that takes in the Long Mynd to the west, Wenlock Edge to the east and the Wrekin to the northeast. |

Caerketton
Hill
Location: Pentland
Hills Notes: Caerketton Hill stands at the northeastern tip of the Pentlands and provides a superb view over the city of Edinburgh. It is an outlier of Allermuir Hill, not quite a mile to the west. Standing directly above the Hillend dry ski slope, it can be ascended from Hillend's car park in about 45 minutes. |

Cairn Gorm
Location: Scottish
Highlands,
Cairngorms Notes: Cairn Gorm is the sixth highest mountain in Britain. Seen prominently from Aviemore and the Spey valley, it has given its name to the massif as a whole (though properly the Cairngorms are Am Monadh Ruadh, the Red Hills). Cairn Gorm is a gentle dome of a mountain, easily climbed from the base station of the summit railway by an ascent of some 2100 ft. It was formely possible to take the chairlift to the Ptarmigan cafe at 3700 ft and walk the final kilometre to the summit, but since the chairlift was replaced by the railway visitors are no longer allowed access to the summit from the top station. The summit is home to an automatic weather station run by Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh. Views from the summit are awesome, particularly along the line of the northern corries (as depicted). |

Cairn of
Claise
Location: Scottish
Highlands,
Mounth Notes: An outlier of Glas Maol, Carn of Claise is situated northeast of its parent mountain and stands on the boundary between Aberdeenshire and Angus. A rise in the general level of the plateau rather than a "proper" mountain, Carn of Claise offers no views as such, just a general vista of a stone-littered grassy void. A stone wall leads away from the summit to the north but peters out. An old track known as the Monega Pass runs past Carn of Claise a hundred metres to the east, and offers a very easy route from Glas Maol to those who wish to visit this summit. |
