What we must not forget, is that this was just a random survey.
I am sure lots of us were surprised that Snowdon got beaten to second place by Helvellyn.
I would be very surprised indeed, that close to a million walkers made an ascent of Helvellyn, even though its a very popular Lakeland mountain.
According to Snowdon Mountain Railway resources in a North wales Weekly news article, last November, they carried nearly 348,000 visitors up by train, a seasonal record for the railway attraction.
Without physically counting them, nobody here could doubt that the summit of Snowdon was without doubt the most visited summit in the Uk.
Where did ITV get their figures from, a random survey.
Helvellyn is without doubt a very popular mountain, BUT MORE FOOTFALL VISITORS THAN SNOWDON ?, possibly, but unlikely.
Even Pen Y Fan in the Beacons, failed to get into the top ten, and we know how busy that as become.
This is just a random survey, and must not be taken too seriously.
