UKH Hills - Lancashire's Finest

Contributed by Calder Jun/11 - This public hilllist has been seen 10,844 times

The best routes from around Lancashire - including routes on natural and quarried grit, as well as limestone.

Currently, there are a good few routes with 2 stars that probably deserve 3. I'm thinking of Cave Route (Hoghton), Mustard (Round Barn), Ourang-otang (Cadshaw), and such like. Maybe the new guide will rectify this, but in the meantime don't be put off - just because no-one climbs there doesn't mean it's crap. Not necessarily, anyway.

I've tried to include stuff from all around Lancashire, but if I've forgotten anything let me know.

Same route, different season. Bede giving it some on his quest to tick the Last Temptation.
