The first :?: is subjective, but yes it's apparently classed as a mountain if it's (2000ft) above sea level.

180 mountains in England alone, the highest of course being Scafell Pike.

Plenty more info and pics on this websitehttps://www.go4awalk.com/uk-mountains-a ... gland.php

One fact I discovered is that mountains are known as Hewitts in England, Ireland and Wales.

I obviously know they are known as Munros in Scotland, Ben Nevis being the highest.
The Munros are 3,000ft or higher. Plenty of other mountains in Scotland that are not Munros.

I’m pretty sure the stabilisation work has been completed. In fact, there is evidence that the Treacle People have found a new vein of treacle under Pendle. I saw evidence of recent mine excavations, behind a stand of liquorice trees above Sabden.
I know that they have tidied up the old mineworkings by planting liquorish trees and recently installed a sherbet fountain. Didn't know about the new vein. I suppose there will be a new liquorish route to it.

Crikey! I'd have suspected 3-4000 feet maybe but 2000?!

Good job it's not a bit lower or nearly every hill up north would be a mountain!

We had a question in Friday nights quiz...
On a clear day whats the furthest thing you can see from the top of Mt Snowden on a clear day.

The answer was ... The Sun ...
That would depend on the nearest news agents wouldn’t it?

Also, about Hewitts. https://www.hill-bagging.co.uk/Hewitts.php Pendle, at 1831 ft therefore appears to be a 'Dewey'.

43-53 meters isn’t really that close.
Like if you were nearly hit by a bus or “wow that bus just missed me by 43-53 meters” you’d know the difference

🤷🤷

Just to be pedantic on the opening post...

Pendle is 1831 feet high which is 169ft short of a 2000ft mountain. This is 51.5m short and therefore you will need substantially more rubble and spoil if that is the plan.
