Very nice mjd
Plenty of contrails in the sky on those - with airports in Manchester/Leeds/Notts/Tees, i'm not surprised!

Yeah i like climbing and stuff like that. The trouble is, i live in East Anglia. :P
The highest point in Cambridge is the Gog Magog hills....which are about 100m high! What's the point! Guess i'll have to move or travel to have a go sometime.

Lots of Mountains round here which stand between 2000 and 3000 Feet
Coniston Old Man 2600feet (just over)
It is quite a hike! and the views are breathtaking at times!
I always wondered why people flocked to here, now I know why!
Also the Pint of Coniston Bluebird ale we had after the 6 hour walk was the nicest pint ever!!
