I've probably been at the sherry or something, but what is

TR wherever (G)
TR wherever (D)

The (G) & (D) bit is ?????

Donalds
Grahams
Corbetts
Munros...

It's just another way of saying, "I'm ticking a list, I'm checking it
twice, going to find out which are boring or nice." Alternatively it
could be a means of identifying where "wherever" is if there are more
than one of them.

For Grahams and Donalds see http://bubl.ac.uk/org/tacit/tables/grand/

Still looking for this legendary boring hill that is supposedly the
lot of the bagger.

Will let you all know when I find it.

BTW No donalds in the Highlands....

Ah! Come to think of it, it's blindingly obvious now that you've said
what it is.

Now where did I put that sherry ;-)

So what's the D for in the Ben Venue TR? Did you slip off the C and
hit the D instead?

Ten minutes of this rain will do more good in half an hour than a fortnight
of ordinary rain in a month.

No its a D.... deliberately a D. Any ideas?

(Clue 1 .. It could be [WMD],
Clue 2 Ben Venue is approx 2400'
Clue3 If I did a TR of , say , Black Mountain, I might use a '[M]',
or "[EM]" )

Iie under 2500' and featured in WMD's list/guide to the 2000' hills of
Scotland

Edward Moss, compiler of the first E&W list. (Unless someone out
there knows of an earlier one)

The pioneers are getting forgotten, replaced by the newer listers....
Grahams are sometimes called Docharty-Grahams in recognition of their
"Munro figure" . I have seen the term Docharty in older literature,
refering to 2000 -2500' hills.

I use the two names interchangably, and threw the D in mischievously.

If only I could afford a copy of Docharty.... $Hundreds...
