Over the years I've been dragged to the mountain centre on many occasions. In fact as a visit to the mountain centre inevitably meant a long walk (which my lazy disposition meant I hated), I even came to loath this place.

I should warn you that come rain or shine this place gets incredibly busy with walkers, which in fact I rather like! read more
