Wondering what the weather's up to on, oh, I don't know, Ben
Nevis? Snowdon? Alan Hinkes's bedroom?
Of course you can always phone a local shop, e-mail your mate who
lives in just the right place or - heaven's above - use the internet
and try and track down a web cam that gives a view of the mountain or
mountaineer in question.
To save you endless trawling though, we thought we'd dig out as
many UK mountain web cams as we could and tell you where to find
them. Here goes... Just click on the pic to go to the cam.
If you know one we've missed, please mail
us and we'll add it to the list.
