Tag: Mountain Travel Journal

Mountains are big deals. Literally. So why wouldn’t I have a “Mountain” tag to flag travel journal entries that include descriptions of visits to or views of mountains?

You might be able to think of a great many minor reasons why I wouldn’t include such a tag. Or possibly a few major reasons. If so, please let me know. That might lead me to delete it.

I can think of only one reason. Mountains aren’t everyday occurrences for me. I live in a city, Toronto, with a few beautiful ravines and a really nice lake (Ontario), but any mountain worthy of the name is a long way away. Be that as it may, I’ve seen enough mountains in my travels that I might forget to attach the tag to a post or two that talks about one or more of them.

Thus this tag is likely not comprehensive. But, for what it’s worth, here’s the tag.

Loughrigg Fell

In this morning’s post, I said that my mention of the “fells of the Lake District” unintentionally foreshadowed a future post. This is that post....

Winsome Windermere

I don’t yet definitively know if Windermere fully qualifies as winsome. I’ve only been here for half a day. But I’m in Windermere, and “Winsome...
