Nope. I'm always confused whenever I go to Britain (or northern France, or for that matter east of the Rockies) - I keep thinking - where's the mountains? And then I see what the locals call a "mountain" and I keep thinking, "where's the mountains?" I remember Greg telling me about the time he drove through the Appennines and didn't notice them. A bit harder to do that with the Cascades, Sierra Nevadas or the Front Range....
You don't even want to know my disappointment the first time I saw the Thames.

I wouldn't think so - maybe Greg has some more definite opinions. I mean why would you need to? You perform your rituals on a hill, you can see the great cosmic mountains - why do you need to build your own hill? I mean, if you think Mt. Rainier dominates the skyline, imagine Kero Fin. But I might be missing something - this is just a suspicion of mine.

Yep. Or construct their forts in spirals. Or whatever.
I won't comment on whether Mt. Snowdonia is more of a mountain than Mt. Si. But maybe Dave will.
