Nah, the difference between 77 meters and the highest point in
the U.K. isn't all that significant -- certainly not worth
travelling for. Besides, lugging a 10" LX 200 to the top

roads in the U.K. that go very high at all.

Ben Nevis is a molehill.

My father, who walked and bicycled over a good bit of the UK in his
student days, says it has a certain dramatic, spare beauty and is well
worth a visit. Still, it is a molehill.

Now if you were talking about the Alps, that might be a
different matter ...

two have a powerful, romantic grip on the Hindu mind, even to
essentially areligious people
