Afternoon all, me again I'm afraid... On Monday 06/11/06 I plan to climb my 500th relative hill of 2006, Fionn Bheinn in The Fannaichs/14B (via Meall...
Sadly some of us have to work (I use the word in a fairly loose sense) for a living. Many congratulations, Andrew. Keep the milestones coming. I suspect...
Hope you have good weather for Fionn Bheinn - I paired it up with Meall a'Chaorainn, both are good view points when looking North. Bit too much of a trek or I...

Morning all High winds in the north-west have forced a postponement of my 500th hill until the weekend... may be in the Braemar area, firm details to follow ...
Although I have followed this site for some years, I haven't posted a message before - I trust that all you regulars will forgive my intrusion. I am a long...
From: Rob Woodall ....but I'm getting a bit old for a weekend on Skye from Peterborough I fear, thanks all the same, and good bagging. Am I reading this right?...
Well done! Dipped the chance of a single on Leith Hill - my 295th was Gun, bagged in a days walk from Congleton which took in The Cloud, a delightful walk,...
I have been looking at all the previous letters about whether this hill exceeds 2000feet. The flush bracket on the trig point at the "summit" is recorded...
... I'd greatly appreciate it if you could relocate the summit back to where it used to be; I rather stupidly failed to go to the updated high point, despite...

... As one who has flown this particular kite for some time....... I seem to remember that there is a dyke in the way between the trig and what I took to be...
... and the original top is nicer too - the only vaguely ridgy bit on a basically uninspiring hill. We went back for the new top (of course it's not remote for...
Anyone know dates and venue for next year's meeting? We are already having to make commitments for next year and hoping not to clash. Ann Ann Bowker ...
From: Ann Bowker ... As decided at the 2006 meet in Fort Augustus the venue is Galloway. Its up to joint organisers Brent Eggo and Charles Everett to decide...
Durrh. I did of course mean Brent LYNAM. I only know three Brents, and as one of them is an oil field trust me to put the wrong surname down. Sorry Brent. And...
Please do Lambrigg Fell before Calf Top. Suggest approach from N, to avoid turbines, and survey around dyke/wall to locate new summit before making comparisons...
From: Antony Whitehead ... To save the world from Googleing(*) "Branta bernicla" - it is the Brent Goose. Jonathan Woods (*) Other search engines are...
Was up there on Sunday. They've bulldozed a track right to the summit, and actually cut down some trees round the summit, but the cairn is intact. The best...
Isnt a "Brent Goose" some sort of assault... ... ____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Everyone...
Since Calf Top is probably my next tick, can somebody clarify what this strand is about. I can't find any mention of a change of top for Calf Top - is it...
Chris, The issues around Calf Top and Lambrigg Fell are related only in the sense that from where I live it makes sense, petrol/time etc., to do accurate...
Thanks for the information John - with the weather forecast for Saturday I'll be in this area and this should be hill 500 for the year. If anyone wants to...
Can anyone confirm whether the footbridge shown on OS maps across the River Don at Ord Mill (NJ678178) is usable to get between William Cairn and Millstone...
If I remember correctly it is the red marked posts, it zig zags up the higher marked forest track. It actually takes you away from the summit and then turns...
Although I can't answer your question, I can provide the following information: There's an excellent cycle track that leads to the top of Cairn William from ...
... No authoritive knowledge I'm afraid, but it looks dodgy to me. I drove to each hill in turn, and there are some much better tracks than are shown on...
