Very interesting - I bet Sir Hugh would be amazed by all this GPS kit.

However - your intro mentions "283 Munros" - are you sure? I thought there were now 282, after the demotion of Beinn a'Chlaidheimh?

With 7 to go, I need to know!
In reply to stevesmith:

You're right Steve - I think you've still got only 7 to go. Thanks for spotting that. Obviously I can't keep up.

Then why on OS Maps online service is Creag na Caillich shown as 916 metres and Mullach Coire nan Cisteachan shown as 914 metrs?

No doubt this is why the survey was carried out - because somebody suspected these numbers to be wrong. If the survey has been carried out to the correct standard, then the OS will adopt the findings in the next revision of their maps. It won't be immediate though - it isn't OpenMaps.

I well remember that bog during a very wet traverse of the 2 Munros last July, probably one of the worst days of a very wet summer fortnight. But how this minor elevation can be designated a Top and Sgurr na Laipach in Glen Affric is not a separate Munro beats me!

Where did the '255 listed tops' come from? In all the information I have it says 227.
