2.1 Programme derivation

The England SOTA Programme is based on the Marilyns. The Marilyn programme considers the relative height of summits compared to their surroundings and defines a minimum of 150m climb from the surrounding cols in order to qualify. This results in over 170 Summits in England, ranging from little more that 150m in height to almost 1000m.

The Marilyn programme is the work of Alan Dawson. Alan has written a book, “The Relative Hills of Britain”, ISBN 1-85284-068-4, published in 1992 by Cicerone Press, Milnthorpe, Cumbria. This book covers the Marilyns in detail and is invaluable reference material for activators and chasers alike. Full details of how to obtain this book, together with much more information on the Marilyn programme, a discussion group, etc. can be found at Alan Dawson’s web site http://www.rhb.org.uk/ Marilyn list, as defined in the above references is the definitive list of valid Summits for England.

2.2 General information

England has several distinct mountain regions, many of which are in the north of the country. England’s hills are broadly characterised by broad grassy slopes leading to rock covered summits above about 700m. Some regions, especially the Lake District offer challenging scrambling and rock climbing but there are no summits in England that cannot be reached by simple hill walking.

2.3 Rights of way and access issues

England has a comprehensive network of pathways open to the public. Most of these rights of way are hundreds of years old and derive from ancient trading routes or military roads. There are many spectacular roman roads scattered throughout England’s mountainous regions.

In addition to sealed roads, there are essentially three classes of public right of way, as follows:

• Footpaths. The public has right of use at all times, but only on foot. Mountain bikes, horses and motorised vehicles are not permitted. Footpaths are marked by dotted lines, red or green, on Ordnance Survey maps.

• Bridleways. The public has right of use at all times on foot, mountain bike or horse. Bridleways are marked by dashed lines, red or green, on Ordnance Survey maps.

• Road Used as a Public Path (RUPP). The public has full rights, including taking motor vehicles on such routes. Generally, RUPPs are marked with a line of alternating dots and dashes on Ordnance Survey maps. Unfortunately, this is not very consistent.

Note specifically that unless accompanied by the above markings, the existence of a road or track on any map is no guarantee that it is a right of way.

When in the valleys, and especially near farms and livestock, it is essential to keep to public rights of way at all times. There is no excuse for straying from rights of way, as there are so many of them. Any SOTA operation, in which it is shown that the participants failed to keep to paths, when appropriate, is likely to be disallowed.

Once well clear of the valley and out in open country it is generally acceptable to take any route. However, as there is almost certain to be a path to the Summit it is likely to be the

best option for SOTA Activators. It is strongly recommended that footpaths/bridleways are used whenever possible.

The Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 (CROW) has introduced new rights of access to certain areas of England. During 2005, a roll-out of new Access Land has taken place that has made hitherto inaccessible summits open to regular SOTA activation. CROW Access Land is included on the most recent editions of OS maps but on-line maps and details are available at http://cms.countrysideaccess.gov.uk

Some summits still do not have public access. In this case, it is essential that the landowner’s permission be obtained before attempting activation.

2.4 Maps and navigation

The definitive maps for hill walking in England are published by the Ordnance Survey (OS). They are available in virtually all stationers and bookshops, or can be ordered by post. Locally, in mountainous areas, corner shops can usually be expected to carry copies of the immediate area.

OS maps come in all shapes and sizes but the most useful for general mountaineering purposes are the 1:50,000 “Landranger” series and the 1:25,000 “Explorer” series (used to be “Outdoor Leisure”) series.

The Landranger series covers the entire country in some 200 maps, which at 2cm to 1km are excellent for route planning. Although these maps show a reasonable amount of detail, they are a bit too small-scale for serious mountain work.

The Explorer series of maps is strongly recommended for specific Expeditions. The level of detail is significantly greater than on the Landranger series and includes extremely useful information such as walls and other significant features that are useful for navigation.

Generally, navigation in English Mountains is not particularly difficult, at least if you stick to the paths and the weather remains fine. It is, however, easy to get disoriented, especially in the mist that is an all too frequent visitor to England’s hills. Only the foolhardy will venture onto the English Mountains without a compass and the knowledge to use it. A GPS is not an adequate substitute.

2.5 Grid reference system used

The Ordnance Survey of Great Britain defines a rectangular grid system, which covers the entire landmass of Britain. This system is used throughout this Association Reference Manual. Typically, the system provides a unique reference to 100m accuracy, though this can be varied if required. Full details of this system can be found at http://www.ordsvy.gov.uk/.

2.6 Safety considerations

It is tempting to assume that England’s mountains, none of which exceeds 1000m in height, are relatively trivial. Whilst they certainly do not compare with Alpine grandeur, the higher latitude, together with proximity to the south-westerly weather fronts coming across the Atlantic, means that conditions can be severe, especially in the winter.

England’s higher mountains may carry snow, especially on the higher summits of the Lake District, any time from late November through to April. Unfortunately, much of this snow is relatively soft and can be very slippery. At other times it just rains! Good waterproof gear is therefore essential, as is protection for radio equipment. You should never venture into England’s major mountains without walking boots, warm clothing, map and compass.

of 27 Document S1.1

Mobile phone coverage in England’s mountainous regions is reasonably good on high ground. It can be non-existent in the valleys or on slopes facing away from major areas of population, roads, etc. If you have one, it is worth taking it with you.

Most areas with major Summits have mountain rescue services. These are all run on a non-paid volunteer basis and you might like to consider supporting their work by putting some cash in the mountain rescue box, usually found in pubs and other tourist traps. Think of it as a sort of insurance policy – hope you will never need to claim on it but have it anyway! The mountain rescue services operate closely with, and report into the Police. Should you need to call them out then you call the Police using 999 and ask for Mountain Rescue.

3.1.1 Regional notes

This is the largest Region of the English Association but has only five eligible summits scattered across the Midlands. Although the Central England Region includes all of East Anglia it is hardly surprising that there are no SOTA summits east of the M1.

As with all rural areas outside of the National Parks and the higher mountains, access is a sensitive issue and activators should ensure that rights of way are used across farmland or that the landowner’s permission is obtained.

For route descriptions and maps for each summit in the Central England SOTA Region visit http://www.keswick.u-net.com/enigma.htm#39

A weather forecast for this SOTA Region can be obtained from the Meteorological Office as part of their Weathercall service for Buckinghamshire on 09068 405 406, Leicestershire on 09068 500 412, Gloucestershire on 09068 405 415 and Worcestershire on 09068 500 410 .

3.2 Region Reference – Devon and Cornwall


Region Devon and Cornwall (DC-xxx)

Region Manager Peter Smith, G3TJE [[email protected]]

Reference The Relative Hills of Britain (“The Marilyns Programme”) http://www.rhb.org.uk/


A wide range of hills is available in the Devon and Cornwall region. High Willhays lies on the North moor on Dartmoor, a rather rounded peak, Brown Willy, on Bodmin Moor, is of similar feature. Both of these walks encounter boggy terrain, and suitable footwear is required, as well as suitable clothing all year round.

Large areas of Dartmoor are used by the military for exercises. Firing times should be checked before venturing onto the moor, see www.dartmoor-ranges.co.uk. If you see red flags flying in the area to which you are heading, do not venture out onto the moor. Walkers should also be aware of the possibility of live ammunition lying around on the moor; metal objects should not be touched.

With Watch Croft overlooking one of the finest areas of coastline on the South West Coast path and High Willhays sitting proudly as the highest point in Devon, there is plenty of variety in this region.

There is road access in close proximity to the summits, with the exception of Brown Willy and High Willhays.

Accommodation is plentiful. It should be noted that in the summer the roads can become congested in some regions.

3.3 Region Reference – The Lake District


Region The Lake District (LD-xxx)

Region Manager John Linford, G3WGV [[email protected]]



The Lake District is England’s most extensive mountainous region, with over 50 summits above 2500 ft (762m). The region includes England’s highest mountain summit, Scafell Pike, 978m high. The Lake District is located in the north west of England bordered by Scotland to the north and the Irish Sea to the west. Access is generally excellent, being close to several junctions on the nearby M6 motorway. Accommodation is plentiful but, as this is a major tourist area, tends to get booked some months ahead at weekends, especially in the summer. There are numerous campsites and generally, there is little difficulty in finding a place to camp.

The region is characterised by steep-sided valleys frequently occupied by a lake or reservoir. Population centres tend to be adjacent to these lakes, often at one end where a river runs over somewhat more gentle land. There is an extensive system of footpaths, generally originating in the villages and running over the numerous passes before striking up hill to the summit. Virtually without exception, summits can be reached by simple hill walking, with no rock climbing required. For the more adventurous, there are many excellent scrambles and there is a considerable quantity of serious rock climbing.

Some Lakeland mountains have extremely precipitous edges close to the summit. The classic example is Helvellyn, which has gentle slopes in all directions except to the east where the edge is near vertical for up to 300m. There are fatal accidents every year on these edges. Special care is required when there is considerable snow as unstable cornices can extend a considerable distance beyond the edge.

The weather in the Lake District can be very unpredictable and can even vary from one valley to another. Rainfall is around twice the national average, carried on strong south-westerly winds that are frequently gale force on the summits. Many summits have rudimentary shelters on or close to the summit but in busy times these will be fully occupied. Generally, there is no other shelter on the summits.

The Lake District National Park Authority has a weather forecast, that is updated twice daily, available on 0844 846 2444. An alternative weather forecast for this SOTA Region can also be found on 09068 500 419.

LD-058 Arnside Knott was promoted to Marilyn status in 2005 when research using the OS Digimap Service identified a very low col near to Siverdale. Arnside Knott is now the lowest qualifying summit in England.

3.4 Region Reference – The Northern Pennines


Region The Northern Pennines (NP-xxx)

Region Manager John Linford, G3WGV [[email protected]]



The Northern Pennines Region contains the highest Summits outside of the Lake District. The mountains in this region are generally easily accessible and have rather flat summit plateaux. Being a major watershed for northern England, the area is characterised by extensive soggy moorland, with the occasional summit rising above the general mire into a rocky plateau.

All is not totally dull featureless moor, however. Much of this region is in limestone country and this gives rise to spectacular scenery such as the extensive limestone pavements around Ingleborough, NP-005, and elsewhere. The region is pockmarked with caves and there are some remarkable caverns and potholes to be found on the fells that are testament to the volume of water flowing in earlier times.

Accommodation in the area is generally plentiful, mainly because of the Pennine Way, which makes its way across a good number of the hills in this Region.

A free permit to visit the summit of NP-002 Mickle Fell, which lies just within the Strathmore Estate, can be obtained by sending to application to the Range Officer, Warcop Training Area, Warcop, Appleby, Cumbria, CA16 6PA. Firing times for the approach route through Warcop Range can be obtained by listening to the recorded message on 0800 7835181.

3.5 Region Reference – The Scottish Borders


Region Scottish Borders (SB-xxx)

Region Manager Jim Coombes, G0CQK [[email protected]]



The Scottish Borders is a region of contrasts with large areas of agricultural land interspersed with substantial forests and extensive mountainous moorland areas. The region includes the Kielder forest, the Northumberland National Park and the English prelude to the Scottish Southern Uplands. There are only 8 summits in this group but they present a significant challenge since ground conditions can be very boggy and covered with deep heather or tussocks of wire like grass. Furthermore the weather can be very changeable and can rapidly become severe. All of the summits are approachable via and may be activated from access land. The highest summit in the region is The Cheviot SB-001 at 815 metres and extensive conservation work here is progressively transforming the summit from the mire of peat bog into which it had degenerated as a consequence of visitor pressure. Much of the summit path is now paved with ¼ ton flags and there has been extensive replanting of cotton grass,. Just a few miles to the north of The Cheviot lies the lowest summit in the region, Housedon Hill SB-010 which has the dubious honour of being the most northerly summit of the English Association and since it is sandwiched between the Cheviot hills to the south and the Lammermuir hills to the north west, it presents a significant challenge for activation. There are actually more than 80 summits in the Scottish Association, Southern Scotland region that are further south than Housedon Hill. Visitors to this region are often surprised by the much lower amount of radio activity than further south, so do not simply expect to put out a few CQ calls on 2m FM and receive a flood of replies. A rubber duck antenna may leave you struggling for contacts on most SB summits and ½ wave antenna or a small beam is advisable. Use of 2m SSB and/or the HF bands on some summits will significantly increase the probability of a qualifying activation and posting your activation plan on SOTAwatch as well as self spotting when QRV, is also advisable to improve your potential for contacts. A number of guidebooks are available for walks that include the summits in the Scottish Borders Region. Walking in Northumberland by Alan Hall, published by Cicerone Press, provides details of walks that encompass 4 of the regions summits (see www.cicerone.co.uk for more details). The current OS Explorer maps covering this region show details of the access land and both regular and waterproof laminated versions are available in National Park Visitor Centres and some tourist information offices. Explorer maps 16, 42, 332, 340, and 339 are needed to cover all SB summits although 43 may also be helpful. Detailed information for all of the SB summits can be found at www.sb-sota.org.uk. For details of accommodation, see the Northumberland Tourism site at www.visitnorthumberland.com or call them on 01670 794520. For access and other information relating to the Northumberland National Park visit www.nnpa.org.uk.

3.6 Region Reference – Southern England


Region Southern England (SE-xxx)

Region Manager David Griffiths, G3RDQ [[email protected]]



Southern England is a region of soft, green and rolling hills that includes SE-015 Cheriton Hill hear Folkestone, which is the most easterly summit in the English Association. Two summits, SE-008 St Boniface Down and SE-012 Brighstone Down, are located on the Isle of Wight and are therefore the only summits in the English Association that are on islands that require ferry access.

Southern England usually enjoys better weather than the upland areas in the northern part of the country. However, winter conditions on any English summit are not to be underestimated by SOTA activators. It is worthwhile remembering that the worst English snow avalanche occurred on the 27th December 1836 when 8 people were killed in Lewes, East Sussex (actually at the western foot of SE-014 Cliffe Hill)!

For details of accommodation and other information contact the South East England Tourist Board on 023 8062 5400. Weathercall for Kent, Surrey & Sussex is on 09068 500402 and for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight on 09068 405403.

3.7 Region Reference – Southern Pennines


Region Southern Pennines (SP-xxx)

Region Manager Richard Newstead, G3CWI [[email protected]]



The G-SP region is easily the most active of the whole SOTA programme. As such there is a wealth of information on each summit. The SOTAwatch “summits” database should be the first place that you visit for information.

You might expect that most of the hills in this section would lie within the Peak District National Park – but you would be wrong! The Marilyn definition achieves a much wider distribution of summits. In this region there is real variety, ranging from easy tops such as The Cloud (SOTA’s most activated hill) to more strenuous moorland tops like Ward’s Stone.

The more remote moorland hills will require good navigation skills in all but the best of weather – and finding the “summit” of Kinder Scout can be taxing even on a clear day. The proximity of many of these hills to population centres such as Sheffield and Manchester may make 2m FM a good choice for really lightweight trip. There is a lot of 2m FM activity in the area and contacts are generally easy to come by.

Completion of all the SPs within a year is a realistic target for anyone who is fit and keen enough. Some you’ll want to do again, others maybe not!

3.8 Region Reference – Tees to the Wash


Region Tees to the Wash (TW-xxx)

Region Manager Phil Catterall, G4OBK [[email protected]]



From the Tees to the Wash is a SOTA Region of great scenic diversity with wild moorland, wooded valleys and lush farmland. The three highest summits are on the northern fringe of the North York Moors National Park with easy access for the activator. The remaining two summits are south across the Vale of Pickering, TW-004 Bishop Wilton Wold is located at the highest point in the Yorkshire Wolds, TW-005 Normanby Top is located at the highest point of the Lincolnshire Wolds. Voted by some as the easiest of summits in the list, they do have the honour of being the most isolated in the English Association. TW-005 Normanby Top is located over 40 miles from TW-004 Bishop Wilton Wold and some 60 miles from the next nearest neighbour.

Route descriptions and maps for each of the summits in this SOTA Region are available at http://www.keswick.u-net.com/enigma.htm#37

For details of accommodation, contact Welcome to Yorkshire on 0844 888 5123. For access and other information visit www.northyorkmoors-npa.gov.uk or telephone The Moors National Park Centre on 01439 772737. The Meteorological Office Weathercall service for this SOTA Region is on 09068 500 417.

3.9 Region Reference – Welsh Borders


The land to the east of Offa’s Dyke has a number of wooded peaks and more isolated summits with impressive views across the wide valley of the River Severn. WB-019 May Hill on the northern edge of the Forest of Dean has, for example, delightful prospects eastwards from the small copse on the summit. Nearby, WB-021 Ruardean Hill has my vote as the easiest summit in the English Association with the trig point in a garden near the centre of the village of the same name.

As with all rural areas outside of the National Parks and the higher mountains, access is a sensitive issue and activators should ensure that rights of way are used across farmland or that the landowner’s permission is obtained.

Maps and route descriptions for each of the summits in the Welsh Borders SOTA Region are

available at http://www.keswick.u-net.com/enigma.htm#38

A number of guidebooks are available for walks that include the summits in the Welsh Borders Region. The Shropshire Hills – A Walker’s Guide by David Hunter, published by Cicerone Press, has been recommended (visit www.cicerone.co.uk for more information).

For details of accommodation and other information contact the Heart of England Tourist Board on 01905 763436. The Meteorological Office Weathercall service for this SOTA Region for Shropshire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire on 09068 500 410 and Gloucestershire on 09068 405 415.
