I'm at home currently, in North East England. Looking forward to a short trip next month and first flight in 18 months.
Anyone got any trips planned?

A1 #PTTravel English Lake District, without a doubt! Grew up there, and spent quite a few weekends there when I lived in Yorkshire

A1: The Cotswolds and South Downs are the nearest hills to me. I have been to both but not enough times. Note to self: Must visit more often and not just drive through. #pttravel

A1 #PTTravel The Willamette Valley is between the Coast Range to the West & Cascade Mountains part of the Pacific Ring of Fire to the East. The Coast Range doesn’t have anything more than 2000 ft in elevation, The Cascades have such peaks as Mt. Rainier, Hood, Shasta & St Helens

A2 The Lake District is pretty special and you can still find places that aren’t too busy if you go at the right time. #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A1. From my door I can just see the top of Lochnagar peeking over the top of the hills, but we're actually closer as the crow flies to Mount Keen, the easternmost of the Munros at the edge of the Cairngorms National Park #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie Somewhere nice and cold would be just the ticket. Thinking of England (as usual) but just not sure. #pttravel

A1 The Pennines are the closest to me I think. There are various smaller hills and peaks but that range is the most well known I think. Further afield is Scarfell Pike, Snowdon in Wales or Ben Nevis in Scotland.
Some hills have great pubs

replying to @DawnCorleone @DawnCorleone @kate_frankie #pttravel If you want cold, why not Norway or Iceland for the Northern Lights?

A2 I’ve walked up Snowden a couple of times but that’s about it for anything even relatively more than a bit of a mound. #pttravel

replying to @aok_NW @aok_NW I've heard of and have seen photos of those ranges. Beautiful and sound like great hikes. I'd love to do more out there #PTTravel

A2 #PTTravel I’ve driven the mountains of Colorado twice. I visited @RockyNPS & you’re at the 12000 ft level which will take your breath away…literally. These pics were taken in Western Colorado.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel a2 the highest I've *been* is a shade under 4000m in Sichuan province of China. The highest I've *seen*, just, through the mist & fog, are some of the Himalaya in Nepal.

replying to @vickyinglis13 @kate_frankie A1. But the National Park takes it's name from Cairn Gorm, meaning the blue mountain in Gaelic. But the Gaelic name of the Cairngorms is Am Monadh Ruadh, the red mountains, named for the pink granite rock. #PTTravel

A2 #PTTravel Actually walked in the French Alps; Sulphur Mountain, near Banff, was higher, but we rode up on the cable car.
