The Humps
Humps are hills of any height with a drop of 100 metres or more on all sides The name Hump stands for HUndred Metre Prominence.
By definition, all Marilyns qualify as Humps (but not vice versa).
A Subhump is a hill which just fails (by up to 10m) to
qualify on the drop rule, i.e. drop of 90m to 99m on all sides.
(Humps appear as Class=Hu on this website, or Ma if also a Marilyn, and Subhumps appear as Class=sHu).
The official e-book listing all the Humps, compiled by Mark Jackson, is now available for free download:
