Right we've all heard of the various hill calssifications appropriate to Scotland, from Munros to Murdos, etc.

But this is a new one on me...The Bridgets :shock:

To qualify as a Bridget the hill/mountain must:

1. Fail to meet the criteria of any other reasonable and sensible Hill & Mountain Classification System, and
2. Be somewhere worth walking to :roll:

My fist thought was "Jeez, the world's gone mad :!: ", but after pondering for a while I can think of a few cracking wee hills which unfairly don't appear on any other list.

A prime example of this is Beinn Lora which at 308m is admittedly rather small. However, I was up there last week with the family and it is a fine hill with superlative views across Loch Linnhe and thoroughly deserves to be honoured on some list or other.

So maybe I'll have to start a new tick list for the Bridgets...of course we all know that Fester has probably been bagging them for years :D

Does everything need to be on a list of something or something else????
Does a list that incorporates Bheinn Lora make it any nicer, with prettier views and any more desirable to walk up it? And if the last option, is that a good thing????? So many questions...

Of course a hill needs to be on a list How else can you give it a good proper bagging :D

Scott,Beinn Lora is a Marilyn..probably a HUMP and a Yeaman as well 8)

What we need is some good old fasioned set notation here ... the only thing stopping me is the blog incompatibility with equation editor!
