Hill Walkers Register

REGISTER 1.  The 2000ft+ Mountains of England and Wales.

As there is no "official" list of summits, claimants must state the list used for their completion.  The following published lists are acceptable:  Simpson (1937) & Moss (1939 & 1940), Bridge (1973), Buxton & Lewis (1986), Nuttalls (1989 & 1990), Dawson (1992) and Dawson (1997).  The use of Wright (1974) together with one of the lists of the Welsh summits in the above publications is also acceptable.  A copy of any other list used (a full list of summit names and grid references), including the claimant's own, must be forwarded with all applications for inclusion in the Register.  It is anticipated that most completions these days will be of the Nuttalls or the Hewitts (the latter listed in Dawson, 1992 and 1997).  A completion without the ascent of Pillar Rock (a "moderate" grade rock climb) is acceptable, although it should be clearly stated whether or not this peak was included in the round.  Most authors have traditionally analysed the summits of both England and Wales together, and consequently the two countries will not be considered separately, i.e. only the names of those who have ascended the summits of both England and Wales will be recorded on the Register - a register of the separate completions of the summits of either England or Wales will not be maintained.  The ascent of the summits of both countries is a considerable challenge to the hillwalker, and those ascribed to the Register can be justly proud of their achievement.

Over a hundred hillwalkers have to date claimed a round of the Two Thousand Foot Mountains of England & Wales on the Hillwalkers’ Register.
