Hill-bagging Scottish equivalent.....

Have you tried - www.munromagic.com. only deals with 3000ft+ but a
good site. Lets you hear how to pronounce them properly. Also a
google search will probably turn up loads if you use the keywords
Corbetts, Grahams and Munros. I would have searched for you but I am a
lazy @@@@ too!!.
Hope this info helps.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm also interested in Marilyns but the sheer number of Marilyns (over
1,000) in Scotland means that it would take an enormous effort to plot
them all!

This is what's on my Windows computer, can't remember what on my Linux
(possible more). If there's any other good un's I'd like to know as well.

Sadly turning into a pay site.. Fair enough.. but the idiots want you
to pay to add material. Talk of a double whammy.

I have a spreadsheet with all the UK Marilyns (and some Irish hills) listed
and links to streetmap and multimap for each summit. It also has a function
to show the direct line distance from a given point to a given point based
on the Grid reference.

It is nowhere near as good as the web site you mention but it can help in
planning a trip.

It can be downloaded from WWW.M0ZZO.COM it was designed for amateur radio
use so the hill reference numbers are different to Alan Dawson's

Feel free to use it and abuse it in anyway you see fit.

If you need any assistance in its use drop me an e-mail.

Cheers

James

Cheap plug but here goes

This isn't actually what you want but might interest you anyway - a
very interesting and clever concept!

Outstanding. Stuart, you're finally up against some competition. The
hill-web-utility arms race looks like it's moving into Java ...

Big changes shortly, I have been given access to a php database thing, so
once I learn how to use it, I can then store peoples lists online and get
away from relying on their cookie files, this will open up a whole new range
of possabilities and new interactive functions, including lists/maps for
Donalds, Marylins, Corbetts .......I will also do variations on the Munros
so the end user can pick which munro list they are doing!
