A family quest to walk every UK county highpoint (might take a while). Check out our Instagram, YouTube & Facebook pages (all available from the website below)

UK county highpoint #3: Worcestershire Beacon. Check out the video and story (it includes a thieving raven, Gandalf, and a police raid in Walsall) https://t.co/xHOtKp4efF

@CityMetric @stejormur And some of us are climbing the damn things! Not convinced by the mountains=less prosperity argument. Far too many exceptions to this. There is the old economic geography model of Weber, which holds true for the flat regions he studied!

[Jonathan Turton @UKHighpoints]

@Helen_E_Neilson Absolutely. And highest point on the south coast is actually pretty good I think.

[Jonathan Turton @UKHighpoints]

@goingtem Great pics! Sadly not the highpoint of North Yorkshire though - that's Whernside #highpointpedant

[Jonathan Turton @UKHighpoints]

@Helen_E_Neilson Lovely views. Sadly not the highest point in Dorset, though it is the highest point on the south coast #highpointpedant

[Jonathan Turton @UKHighpoints]

@BlurredStones Excellent highpointing. Definitely one of the bigger challenges

[Jonathan Turton @UKHighpoints]

@alex_staniforth @Adam_S_Nelson @countrywalking @sarahcgarr07 Yes, I've chosen the 33 historic counties for Scotland too - seemed to make more sense. Off to do our first Scottish one quite soon - look out Fife, a 3yo is on her way *gulp*

[Jonathan Turton @UKHighpoints]

@alex_staniforth @Adam_S_Nelson @countrywalking @sarahcgarr07 No kidding... and there are so many different ways you can cut it. Scotland is even more problematic!

[Jonathan Turton @UKHighpoints]

@sarahcgarr07 @countrywalking We're on it!

3 Sons & A King: Documentary Film Review

"30 miles round trip, 4100 feet elevation gain, and no legs. Sid Smith, double-amputee, attempts to summit King’s Peak, the highest point in Utah"

How did Loren Mooney end up on a quest to hike the highest point in every state? It's a long story. https://t.co/9RjjpL9Dk8

@2ndcitysuit @OllyPJ This is excellent knowledge! Always looking out for good accommodation near #highpoints

[Jonathan Turton @UKHighpoints]

@SolentRoadNW6 She's not even three yet! She's a great little walker though - as long as there are snack stops. She'll be doing her first Scottish mountain next month!

Very short fim of a toddler (and two adults) walking up Worcestershire Beacon on a very sunny Sunday in May
