ClimbInfo. The best place to answer any question on British Climbing

The Bog Squelch on down to this enthusiastic hill bashin site..

Walk Scotland.com Comprehensive Scottish walking site. News, hills and routes, (routes, whats that then?). The refreshing feature of this online 'hill mag' is that not only is it not M*nr* fixated, but gets ito some really way out places..

  Marilyn Bagging Allan Dawson's Marilyn News Station. Where are you in the Hall of Fame? Watch the New Marilyns appear as the orange tide of Explorers laps the Scottish Hills. Bag those subbies now!

Cairngorm Partnership. The launch pad for the Monadh Ruadh and loads of Conservation bodies, local authorities etc.

Scotland Mountains, a very fine collection pf photographs by Gavin Shaw. Loads of Corbetts too.

Chris Crocker

Jims Home Page,a bit of everything, and some very usable tables, also available in a downloadable form. Watch the Corbett bagging action on his progress graphs

Mountain Bothyears,Bothy culture beautifully invoked. Original and some of the best artwork I have seen on the net. Unfortunately its a bit heavy if you dont have broadband.

Maps:

Maps by Stirling Surveys as used in the 1999 Karrimor Mountain Marathon in Cowal. Useful for finding your way through the forests.
Harvey's Great maps but sadly they mostly market their ungainly 1:25000 series now, but still produce the best hill bashing map of all, the old 1:40 000 series. Now they cover Arrochar, Kintail, Cuillins,Torridon, Glen Lyon, Loch Lubnaig, Monadh Ruadh, Broad Law,Lochnagar and Galloway . That's a lot of Corbetts.

Ticklists:

Marilyn baggers et al can find their lists at TACIT. Also Dave Hewitt's Watershed walk , the book that started me off bagging Marilyns.

The Bog. A healthy attitude to bagging, are there realy folk out there who cannot see the hills for the lists? Recommended read.

A useful source, Jim Wilsher's site has some tables in downloadable files.

Another fine site, which is showing signs of developing into an illustrated ticklist is Simon's Mountain Lists.

THE Graham resource, Mad about Mountains has a list that indexes illustrated essays on all the Grahams.

Well presented waypoints for the Englandandwales 610/15m list. The Mountains of England and Wales

And the compilers and surveyers of that list John and Anne Nuttall

Undiscovered Scotland . Accomodation and other links on thuis well designed launch pad.
