| Hills come in all shapes, sizes, and weather. In The Lakes they're all fells. |

||||
| If it's over 3000 feet it has some status as a mountain, a Furth Munro; though, in The Lakes, it is commonly accepted that anything over 2000 feet is a mountain. 2000 feet is about 610m. Besides the term Munro there are several other fanciful terms for lesser sizes of hill. |
||||
| But the grandeur of a hill can come from many aspects, its prominence, ruggedness,
shapelyness, ... It's all a matter of personal taste, pointless to classify. |
||||
| If you walk in the fells, pardon, mountains, do go properly prepared with a knowledge
of your route, map, compass, wet and cold weather gear, emergency food and drink,
torch and whistle. |
