Survey Reports

The Database of British Hills survey team - John Barnard, Graham Jackson and Myrddyn Phillips, with occasional assistance from others - have produced detailed reports of each of their surveys.  You can download these reports (MS Word format) by clicking the document links in the Survey report column below.

The team has mainly concentrated their efforts on the hills which are borderline for inclusion on the various lists.  Among their notable achievements are the discovery that Mynydd Graig Goch tops 2000ft, and that Sgurr nan Ceannaichean is under 3000ft so loses its Munro status.

For more background information about the survey team and their methods, see the Database Notes section of the Database of British Hills website.
