The mountains of the UK are diminutive in scale when compared to the great ranges of each continent, the Himalaya, the Rockies, the Alps, but what they lack in scale, they make up for in raw wildness. The UK, and its people are famous the world over for weather.Folks seem to think it rains here all the time...it does. The UK population likes nothing better than to complain about the weather, it changes constantly. There is no place where this is more true than on and around the mountains and hills of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. One minute is can be hot and blazing with sunshine, the next it can be freezing and snowing, yes sir, it certainly changes..
