It's . . . . .

You don't want that. It's front wheel drive.

 

So? The Fuglipla is FWD.

 

See, this is what somebody said the other year at a platyfest. They noticed
my rusty old MTB and recoiled in amazement. I had to ride the thing up and
down the street.

 

Oxymoron Alert!

Pish-tosh!

moun·tain (noun)
1. a natural elevation of the earth's surface rising more or less
abruptly to a summit, and attaining an altitude greater than that of a
hill, usually greater than 2000 ft. (610 m).

Ben Nevis: 1344m
Snowdon: 1085m
Scafell Pike: 978m

Only one of those is in England.

 

But the others are in subjugated lands so close enough.

 

Fair point.

OK, then. How about:

Helvellyn 950m
Skiddaw 931m
Great Gable 899m
Cross Fell 893m
Pillar 892m
Fairfield 873m
Blencathra 868m
Grasmoor 852m
St Sunday Crag 841m

 

I was talking specifically about the Python.

 

Maybe not. Hell, even I could climb them!

But the fact of the matter is, they are mountains.

 

And still no sign in t' North West.

Bullshit. You've clearly googled around to find a specific,
British-only definition in some dictionary or other, but it doesn't
make it correct.

And all the ones you list in England are less than 1000m, which is
almost sea-level, FFS. The flat we're buying in Engelberg is at 1000m,
and is at the bottom of a mountain. On a flat bit. Not up a mountain
at all.

Of course I googled it, but that came from dictionary.com which is
hardly a bastion of Britishness.

Irrelevant.

It is subjective and relative and the OP made reference to "England's
highest mountains" so as a benchmark for England, the ones I posted are
"mountains".

 

I've walked up most of those with my hands in my pockets.

 

OK then, I give up.

ukrm's definition of a mountain: a natural elevation of the earth's
surface that cannot be merely walked up - it will require specialized
clothing, specialized equipment and extreme levels of fitness to climb
and must be higher than Ace's skiing lodge or whatever he wants to call
it.

There - what've I missed?

 

CIHAGM?

I'd love one, but that'll mean getting my arse in gear and learning to weld.

 

Needs helicopter to get a head start.

 

They're all lower than my kitchen door.

 

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "CT" <> saying
something like:

Of English mountains...

Just think of the size they used to be - tens of thousands of feet of
unclimbable majesty, topped by the meanest motherfucking clouds on
earth. A mountain range to be proud of, not one of these modern
mamby-pamby mountains which any old **** can clamber up.
