Hiking the British mountains and hills

This is a list of our walks in everything hilly in the UK (so this basically qualifies as Mountaineering).

The spots to explore are mainly:

• The Berwin range, in Wales (the closest)
• Snowdonia, in Wales (also close and more scenic, we started there in April (2017).
• The peak district.
• The black mountains (south Wales).
• The lake district.
• Cheviot Hills.
• Highlands, in Scotland.
• Irish mountains (MacGillycuddy's Reeks, Mourne & Sperring mountains).
