Cross Fell, Pennines. The only mountain in the country that has its own named wind apparently - the Helm Wind.

Industry can stunning, too..

Steel works, Teesside

Mam Tor Ridge, Peak District. One of my favourite walks - an 11 mile circuit, ending up at a pub by the station.

Mundane thread a better home for it perhaps?

It's a mundane sight, but I think the pic is stunning? We're in danger of making the North entirely about the national parks in this thread. Which, when you consider the state of some of the towns, might be fair enough. I dunno?

Skye?! If we're posting Scotland pics then there's a world of stunning pics waiting for us. I was hoping weepiper or someone would start a mundane and/or stunning thread in the Scotland forum. But if not, then I guess we can claim it as the North!

I think that steelworks makes for an impressive sight.

Hmm I think you're right, a thread on the Scottish forum would be better

I've been considering starting it. But I have no connection with Scotland and nothing to share. I just wanted to kickstart those lazy Scots into action

Kinder Scout in winter. Another beautiful walk, but hard going getting up onto the plateau. I tore my cartilage walking on here, so not kind to knees.

Happy rock, on Kinder Scout:

Large parts of the North are part of National Parks - we seem to have more than our fair share. But there's plenty of other stuff that isn't within NP boundaries, and is equally lovely.

Agreed, and by NP I meant including the picturesque bits of countryside between them. But are we really saying that no towns/cities can appear in this thread? That not one mundane sight can be stunning? That just re-enforces the "grim North" stereotype, I think. Fair enough, that steelworks isn't something I'd choose to be there, but that pic of it shows that even the ugliest of structures can be beautiful and appreciated. And it's part of what made the North what it is.

We can't ignore our history!

No! It was depressing enough to find them, and then look at how old I now look, so I'm not sharing them with the world.

I've aged a lot in ten years or so.

You want to try being me FBM
