Freeholds Top in the Southern Pennines is a boggy Marilyn above Rossendale. An easy track to the trig point and pond. A muddy but rewarding short walk.

Hail Storm Hill is the highest point in Rossendale. Followed the Pennine Way to this Lancashire Marilyn. A pleasant walk with a large activation zone.

Dungavel Hill is a quick grassy Marilyn near Tinto in South Lanarkshire. An ideal short activation when driving north, despite the wind and rain.

My walking route writeup for a hike up the famous Ben Nevis (1345m) via the popular Mountain Path, or Tourist Track.

A Summits on the Air walk to the summit of Lewesdon Hill, the highest point in Dorset, with an ancient woodland surrounding the hill.

Arthur’s Seat is an extinct volcano rising above Edinburgh. I climbed from Holyroodhouse on a crisp winter’s day. An easy urban SOTA activation.

Rombalds Moor, better known as Ilkley Moor. Quick activation from the southern approach. HF proved stubborn but 2m FM delivered the contacts when needed.

Fountains Fell in the Yorkshire Dales, named after Fountains Abbey. Pleasant gravel tracks and grass to a spacious summit. Pairs well with Pen-y-ghent.

Pen-y-ghent, one of the Yorkshire Three Peaks. Quieter southern approach from Silverdale Road. Operated from the summit wall. A classic Yorkshire fell.
