That would certainly come as a shock to those people who live in the shadow of Scafell Pike, Ben Nevis or Snowdon.

Wow, Blackleaf has literally made mountains out of molehills!

Mountains, huh? rofl We get views like that from halfways up the HILLS out back.

Very impressive Anna. What part of Canada is that?

 

[AnnaG]

We've been doing that before America even existed.

Like my husband mentioned more than a couple times when he posted in here, Britland is a has-been. You goofballs even had problems in the Falklands. I recall something about ship fires.

If thousands of young Nepalese men thought it a great honour to fight in the American Army then the American Army would have ITS own Gurkha Regiments. But they don't. They see it as a great honour to fight in the British Army and we're more than happy to recruit them.

They still aren't English. They are Nepalese. You can't fight your own battles.

No, I love going for long walks. I'm always going for walks on the Pennines or in the West Pennine Moors just outside of town. Walking where you are would be a doddle. I just prefer walking in Britain because we can for for nice treks up hills and mountains and then go to a local old pub in the evening for a pint and a spot of grub in front of a raging fire rather than having to rub two sticks together and chuck spears and squirrels or beavers to sustain ourselves. Such things belong in the hunter-gatherer times. Walking in Britain, like so many other things, is just so much more civilised.

Those are not hills and mountains, they are lumps and bumps.
I have no idea what a doddle is.
Just as I thought, if you ever got lost, you'd be screwed because your survival skills add up to diddlysquat. I amend my previous comment that I'd have you lost and befuddled within a day: make that half a day.

As a proper male, I don't like being bested by anyone, especially a female.

lol Yet you keep posting in here and losing to everyone. Interesting.

Very impressive Anna. What part of Canada is that?

Beside Kootenay Lake in southern BC. We have the Purcell Mountains on one side and and the Selkirk Mountains on the other. The hill we are on is about half as high as the mountains. Kokanee Glacier is in the Selkirks.

Well that would be great to see some day. Nice photos.

It is pretty awesome countryside around here. Closest thing I saw in your country to it was in WY.

All we would need is one shot Blackie... One single, solitary shot

Reading this topic ... I was waiting for this GIF.

The Brits can't fight their own wars.

Not entirely true. They can fight their own wars. They just can't win any without somebody else's help.

Well, ok. I sit here, corrected. =)

 

[MHz]

The treeline is the difference between a mountain and a molehill. You can bet if Canada declared war on somebody we would be on our own.

 

[AnnaG]

Not all mountains have trees near them let alone tree lines.

So if we, as members of NATO, declared war on someone like a new "Hitler", we'd be all by ourselves fighting the guy?
Erm, BULLSHTT

Scafell Pike is a mountain, love.

In the United Kingdom and the Irish Republic, a mountain is usually defined as any summit at least 2,000 feet (or 610 metres) high, whilst the official United Kingdom government's definition of a mountain, for the purposes of access, is a summit of 1,969ft (600 metres) or higher. In addition, some definitions also include a topographical prominence requirement, typically 100 or 500 feet (30 or 152 m). Therefore Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England and the thirteenth-highest in the United Kingdom, with an elevation of 3,209ft, is a mountain.

The UN Environmental Programme's definition of "mountainous environment" includes any of the following:

• Elevation of at least 2,500 m (8,200 ft);
• Elevation of at least 1,500 m (4,900 ft), with a slope greater than 2 degrees;
• Elevation of at least 1,000 m (3,300 ft), with a slope greater than 5 degrees;
• Elevation of at least 300 m (980 ft), with a 300 m (980 ft) elevation range within 7 km (4.3 mi).

Using these definitions, Eurasia is actually more mountainous than North America. Mountains cover 33% of Eurasia, 24% of North America, 19% of South America and 14% of Africa.

Like my husband mentioned more than a couple times when he posted in here, Britland is a has-been.

Tis better to have been a has been than to be a never-have-been.

You goofballs even had problems in the Falklands.

We won. Decisively.

They still aren't English. They are Nepalese. You can't fight your own battles.

And the Royal Canadian Airforce hires foreign pilots to fly front-line military aircraft on operational capacity.

65,000 foreigners serve in the American military - 4.8 percent of the 1.36 million active-duty personnel in the American armed forces.

I have no idea what a doddle is.

It's the exact opposite of being in a pickle.

Just as I thought, if you ever got lost, you'd be screwed because your survival skills add up to diddlysquat.

Bull****. I've watched loads of Ray Mears.

Beside Kootenay Lake in southern BC. We have the Purcell Mountains on one side and and the Selkirk Mountains on the other. The hill we are on is about half as high as the mountains. Kokanee Glacier is in the Selkirks.

And we've got the lovely West Pennine Moors on the outskirts of town and, unlike your boring countryside, we've got lots of human history in ours. I love walking up Winter Hill, on the border between Greater Manchester and Lancashire, near the bottom of which stands Bolton Wanderers' Macron Stadium. The hill can bee seen almost everywhere you go in Bolton.

Rivington Pike Tower on the hill is a great place to visit. It was built in 1733 from the remains of a beacon platform and was formerly used as a hunting lodge by Squire John Andrews, sheltering shooting parties out on a jolly from Rivington Hall. Nowadays it has graffiti etched into its outside walls, much of which dates back to the 18th and 19th centuries, where people have written their names and the year they wrote it.

Further along Winter Hill is the 1,015.4 ft Winter Hill TV Mast. It is one of the tallest manmade structures in the UK and the UK's highest television transmitting antenna and is higher than Gragareth, Lancashire's highest hill.

Part of the West Pennine Moors, Winter Hill is a popular walking area and has been the site of ancient mining activity, a plane crash (which killed 35 people in February 1958 ) and murders. Some of the plane wreckage still lies where it hit the ground. It's also the site of UFO activity, ghostly encounters and is the home of some strange goblin-like creatures. On a clear day you can see the Irish Sea, Liverpool, the coastline of North Wales and the mountains of Snowdonia, Blackpool Tower and the mountains of the Lake District.

I also like visiting the Scotsman's Stump on Winter Hill. On 9 November 1838 George Henderson, a Scottish merchant walking over the hill from Bolton to Blackburn, was murdered by gunshot along the road directly opposite where the television station now stands. James Whittle, a 22-year-old collier from nearby Belmont, was brought to court and found guilty of murder. However, he was found not guilty at a second trial in Lancaster. There is an iron post with a plaque on the hill in memory of the victim erected in 1912, replacing a tree that was earlier planted opposite the television station. This is known as Scotsman's Stump.

lol If you say so.

In the United Kingdom and the Irish Republic, a mountain is usually defined as any summit at least 2,000 feet (or 610 metres) high, whilst the official United Kingdom government's definition of a mountain, for the purposes of access, is a summit of 1,969ft (600 metres) or higher.

Therefore Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England and the thirteenth-highest in the United Kingdom, with an elevation of 3,209ft, is a mountain.

Cute. As I said, halfway up the the hill behind us one gets a similar view as the top of your "mountain".

The UN Environmental Programme's definition of "mountainous environment" includes any of the following:

• Elevation of at least 2,500 m (8,200 ft);
• Elevation of at least 1,500 m (4,900 ft), with a slope greater than 2 degrees;
• Elevation of at least 1,000 m (3,300 ft), with a slope greater than 5 degrees;
• Elevation of at least 300 m (980 ft), with a 300 m (980 ft) elevation range within 7 km (4.3 mi).

You really care what the UN thinks? rofl

Eurasia isn't the UK. The UK doesn't have mountains, it has lumps and bumps.

Tis better to have been a has been than to be a never-have-been.

Says you. Big deal.

We won. Decisively.

The Mongolian Navy could have won that. Big deal.

And the Royal Canadian Airforce hires foreign pilots to fly front-line military aircraft on operational capacity.

65,000 foreigners serve in the American military - 4.8 percent of the 1.36 million active-duty personnel in the American armed forces.

So? Canadians still fight Canadian wars and Americans still fight American wars. The Brits? They use Gurkhas, Canadians, Aussies, etc.

It's the exact opposite of being in a pickle.

Ahh Blackrot the armchair survivalist. roflmao
I've watched lots of Holmes On Homes, too. Does that make me a construction contractor? hahaha
