Fewer, lower, easier and (for most of the UK's population) closer than the Munros of Scotland and the Wainwrights of the Lake District. Explore the highest hills of the Peak District. Track your progress through your own dated log and by using the interactive map from OpenStreetMap. Bonus level of the Peak 75 hills, on completion of the Ethels.
