Hello All, I have this great idea for my retirement - to list, eulogise upon and climb all the finest hills in Britain and Ireland. I have even bought a camper van to demonstrate that I mean business!
I am beginning to work on a list and haven't got a clue how many hills I will end up with (roughly 500 would be ideal but who knows?), nor what criteria I will decide on for inclusion, but it will be great fun doing this and I plan to write a blog as I go along. I have been walking for about fifty years so am well travelled, although obviously don't know everywhere. I am hoping to share ideas with everyone here and discuss possibilities as I go along. That way it can be a team effort and even though I will be climbing most of the hills alone, it won't feel that way - if that make sense!
So here's one area for starters: Antrim. I have driven the coast and glens many times but never walked there properly. Does anyone have any recommendations of good hills? I have read what reports I can find and few people have sung many praises. There are some shapely forms from memory although I know much is boggy moorland. Boggy moorland probably isn't a high accolade for a finest hills list, but it would be good to have most upland areas represented, where worthy candidates exist.
Many thanks!
