Hillwalkers' Register 5
The 500m+ Tops of England & Wales (Deweys).
A Dewey is defined as a mountain or hill in either England or Wales that exceeds 500 metres in height above sea level, but is below 610 metres (2000ft) in altitude; it must be separated from adjacent tops by a height difference of at least 30 metres on all sides. There are currently 436 Deweys (as at December 2009). A completion without the ascent of the tor on the summit of Great Links Tor (a high grade rock climb) in Dartmoor is acceptable; please state whether or not this was climbed when submitting the Claim Form. To date only six people are known to have ascended all of the Deweys, but a “Table of Progress” of hillwalkers’ achievements with this list is published each April in the HR Annual Report.
