Lake District

Once upon a time in Wasdale

Great Gable catches the last rays of the setting sun, while the Scafells already wallow in gloom beyond.

'Fear, cold, pain and suffering on a lonely winter night in the Lake District. That’s one way to see in the new year. Fancy giving it a go?'

Tom Bailey

Winter Walking

Say goodbye to your comfort zone

A perfect example of how winter transforms Britain’s mountains. High on Snowdon’s south ridge, with the crowds of summer long gone and a landscape that looks like it belongs to European Alps.

'Britain’s Winter Mountains offer the perfect opportunity to take your hillwalking adventures to the next level. But where to start?'

South Highlands

The mountain over the water

The island-speckled waters of Loch Lomond glowing gold in the winter sun – a glorious backdrop to Ben Lomond’s Ptarmigan Ridge.

'It’s been biding its time, patiently. Sometimes in plain sight, sometimes hooded by cloud, sometimes hidden. Watching, guarding the way to the Highlands. Never urgent, never needy. Just there. It’s time to face the mountain. Ben Lomond is waiting.'

'Rightly celebrated as one of Britain’s best scrambling venues, Tryfan is also one of our most arresting hills. But how to get a good look at it without forgoing the climb? One remote-feeling valley has the answer you’re looking for...'

Mountain Lives

Finding true north

<br>"The experience of being alone, up on a mountain, having that moment to yourself. <br>it’s like pressing a restart button."

'Deon Barrett explains how training to be the first black Englishman to summit Everest helped him out of one of the darkest periods of his life.'
