I actually live on the highest peak in croydonia, Sandersstead, ruled by our tribal chief Sander, who is a bit of a traditionalist.

That was based on a walk across Kinder Scout, in the Peak District, max height 636m. Frozen waterfalls, snow way above your head, the lot, and a chill factor such that touching metal bare-handed meant losing skin. The nearest I met to a man-eating monster was an over-excited Jack Russell, though.
