My name is Simon Edwardes, and I am married with two children.  I live in Gloucestershire, and my work is in computer systems development.

The inspiration for this website comes from my ambition to climb all the 2000ft (610m) mountains of England and Wales on the Nuttalls list.  My first target was to climb the highest 100, which I completed in July 2002.  Next I aimed for all the Nuttalls over 2500ft, which I achieved in August 2007.  (Note: the addition of Castell y Gwynt to the list means I have to visit this to reclaim the above two achievements)

I'm now working on everything over 700 metres (roughly 2300ft).   My progress to date is:-

I also try to bag County and Unitary Authority tops whenever I pass one en route to somewhere else, and have recently set myself a secondary goal of visiting all the Marilyns in England and Wales.  The mountains displayed in red and blue in the Mountain Search results and map pages are the ones I have visited (if you are not registered and signed-in!).

In 2009 I joined the editorial team of the Database of British Hills, and have worked with them (Graham Jackson, John Barnard, Chris Crocker, George Gradwell and Mark Jackson) to add new lists of hills, and to merge our databases.
