tunafish Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 England's tallest mountain has a 978m summit. Named "Scafell Pike", it is in the picturesque Lake District, popular with tourists. The mountain has now been conquered by a 2-year-old girl from York. Elisha Smith's parents had been prepared to carry their toddler up the mountain, but powered on by biscuits she charged up the peak. Her parents are now looking to get her up Wales' Snowdon, and Scotland's 1,344m Ben Nevis before she turns 3, for a Guinness Book of Records place. "We decided to go at her pace and take the most direct route up," proud father Shane Smith said. Source: http://www.news.com.au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
