Pen-y-Ghent (name of the little hill this is from) is apparently Cumbric language, sounds very Welsh. I'm going to read up on the etymology when I get the chance.

Interested to hear... In Welsh that would mean ’head of the Ghent’ (you probably know that). What’s the Ghent, is it a river?

AFAICT: no one agrees/knows what Ghent is. Most people are translating it as border, currently. A book on Celtic Culture cites a 1307 book, when it used to be called Penegent, and says that gent is 'heathen'.

Wiki image reminds me of this local hill. The map shows a trail between the left peak and the middle one. In fact there is a deep vertical canyon there which could not be descended without expertise and equipment. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/28/Castle_Peak_from_Andesite_Peak.jpg …

Woah! Well I’m glad you both survived. My mother tumbled down some scree head first once — not a great idea really — and was lucky to have only broken an arm I think.

Scree fields are particularly memorable, often exposed, high, with good views. I like them. There’s a scree field at the top of Caer Idris that we’ve bushwhacked a couple of times and I remember some cool ones in Norway.

I recommend Iceland if you're a fan of scree. This mountain (described as a "moderate" hike) appeared to be scree all the way up. We gave up.pic.twitter.com/mcexhhA6Wp

The walking route up Mt Conness overnight trip from Tioga Pass Road has some lovely scree fields. Also a bit closer to you than Iceland.
