UK mountain ranges

[jakeydoodles]

What is the longest mountain range in Britain?

[boxtops]

It could be the Pennines

apparently, even though there is not really a mountain amongst them, and even though they are geologically really hills or fells, it is the pennines, which are sometimes referred to as 'a low mountain range' being born on the pennines I know they are always referred to as 'hills' but whoever set the quizz maybe just used wiki.

That's what I thought dotty, they're not tall enough to be mountains

[jakeydoodles]

thanks much appreciated.

I think this is the third time this weekend I've seen this question asked - are you all doing the same quiz? There was quite a discussion on whether the answer was the Pennines or not.

[dotty.]

no their not, nothing over 3000 feet, which is the recognised qualifying feature of a mountain worldwide, i still assume its the munroes (not the orphaned family that lost it's parents crossing a river and built a log cabin with the help of ben johnson with one arm)

They are probably referring to the Pennines but as pointed out they are not mountains really though we tend to refer to them as such. In reality Even those in Scotland and Wales barely qualify as mountains in the scheme of things.
