There are many great routes up YR WYDDFA (SNOWDON) , but if you think the thrills top out on Crib Goch, you might like to learn there’s another ridge that ups the adrenaline ante.

With feet in the sea and head in the clouds, some of Britain’s finest mountains rise offshore – as we discover on the ISLE OF MULL .

To cycle up a mountain is to pedal into a world of paradoxes. Mountains are a playground and a torture chamber; a means of outdoor adventure and inner discovery; an opportunity for wonder, a guarantee

If you want to climb a mountain, it’ll be tough, right? And there’s no point staying low in the valleys if you’re after a big adventure, right? Actually, wrong on both counts. CW sets out to show that at both high level and low, the Lake District has the power to surprise.

By glacial valleys, ancient pilgrim routes and rugged scrambles, the journey up Ireland’s MOUNT BRANDON is a humbling connection to nature, time, and even existence itself.
