If anyone wants a quick challenge or would just like a relaxing vicarious flight from the comfort of your chair, here's a wee aerial vid I've cobbled together from pre-lockdown footage featuring some of the UK's rock climbing crags and mountains. Most of these featured crags, mountains and mountain ranges are quite well known, but a few would be classed as esoteric just to make it a bit more tricksome...
Anyway there are 19 individual clips relating to 19 crags, mountains or mountain ranges so see how many you can identify from this unique perspective. If you want the correct answers then just let me know and I'll post them on this thread later this week.
Bosigran, Cornwall, with Commando Ridge in foreground Chair Ladder, Cornwall Hay Tor, Devon Lundy with Devil's Slide ? Lulworth Cove Durdle Door Old Harry and The Foreland, Dorset Cheddar Gorge, Somerset Three Cliffs and bay, Gower ? Pen y Fan, Brecon Beacons Llanberis Pass with Dinas Mot on the right Hen Cloud, Staffordshire Roaches, Upper and Lower Tiers, Staffordshire ? Buachaille Etive Mor Mamores and Ben Nevis The Old Man of Stoer
Thanks a lot for posting! What a great series. really enjoyed it, heartbreaking these days, but very uplifting*
Can you P-L-E-A-S-E add one of Cloggy, one of Gogarth, and one of the Pass? Thanks........
Edit 1, I've just realized no. 13 is in the Pass with Dinas Mot, as noted by someone above. And I've only been there about a zillion times in the past many decades...... *Edit 2, that was an unintentional joke
A superb effort Gordon and you have 13 absolutely spot on and being benevolent I would give you an additional half a point for number 18 giving you a grand total of 13 1/2!
