morning,
for the last few years myself and 3 or 4 other blokes have organised a walking weekend, away from wives/kids, so the important ingredients are a testing walk on saturday/sunday and a good pub with real ale/music for friday/saturday night. We went to the peak district for a couple of years, but got bored with that as hills not that high, so last year we tried mount snowdon, much better, we live in the midlands, so Ben Nevis is a bit far/expensive to get to, so looking for ideas, scafell pyke (not sure of spelling!) sounds good, anyone done that?

We stayed in this (bunkhouse) which was very cheap and excellent value.
thanks, that's just the sort of thing we are looking for, will check it out.
Both Trail & Country Walking do "walks" in the mag every month, but you can also get them from the website's
This might be useful if you go for the Brecon Beacons.
We did a walk that took in Pen Y Fan (896m), Corn Du (873m) and Fan Y Big (snigger - 719m).
thanks, will look in to these as well,

....Fan Y Big, will look in to that?, bit of a hairy climb, a clitthanger maybe?.. oh yes, think the lads will like this?
Try looking <a ref="http://www.outdoorsmagic.co.uk"> here</a>
Has lot's of good scrambles / walks listed from all over the country

Depending on the weather... Or we may just spend the weekend in The George in Keswick !
Think one of the best bits about living in Chester is Snowdon / Tryfan in under an hour, Windermere in 90 minutes, Keswick in under 2 hours
God job my parents moved to Fort William so we can spend holidays there - don't need to look too far for mountains, when there are over 20 Monroes within view of the house.
Retirement plans include moving even further north... Somewhere within 300 yds of The George in Keswick would be ideal
The only frosty reception we got was up on the peaks.
