@CarloZambo57733 Many peaks below 3000ft are just as good as Munros, and can be tougher because paths are less well defined There’s nothing magic about the 3000ft contour!

@CarloZambo57733 Helvellyn is one of a number of English mountains with a Welsh-like name Helvellyn - Yellow Moorland or possibly Hunting (or Gathering) Ground by the Lake #MountainToponymy
