Corbetts table

What I'm after, and what I'm having trouble finding, is a list of Corbetts - not by height, or alphabetical order, but by area/OS map. There are some good tables out there, by height, by name, or even just with loads of info (which, in fact, I don't want - I prefer to follow my own routes rather than other peoples', which is why I also don't want a guidebook).

So, is there a list by map or region, simply the name/map/grid ref, grouped by area, which I could easily store on a Kindle for reference - or am I going to have to make it myself?

By area

Area again - and map (click...ummm, Corbetts)

Whether or not you could transpose some of this to Kindle.....

Nope, some of the elements are there, but not what I want, which is a table:

AREA - NAME & HEIGHT - LANDRANGER MAP - GRID REF

Seems odd nobody's put that together. I'm just doing it myself now because I'm not finding it anywhere.

It'll come out as a five page PDF which will display fine on a Kindle:

The Corbetts table from the database of British Hills site
http://www.biber.fsnet.co.uk/downloads.html
has this information (and a lot of other info you would wish to delete)

I don't know if that would be a suitable format for a kindle though.

Aye, all the info's out there, just not in the way I want (useful site, that, BTW).

So I knocked up a PDF of my own - hope this works. The sections refer to the map below. The PDF looks good on a Kindle, best turned to landscape format due to the text size.

clicky

If you click on each area it breaks it down in a table below.

Ah, it looks like you have reduced the number of areas. I don't know anything about kindle and I'm a bit of a technophobe, will the above map be shown on the pdf otherwise the colour key doesn't correspond to anything, good work btw all this computer stuff seems like a form of the dark arts to me.

All under control, it's a work in progress. The colours don't really matter, they were on the map I nicked (I'll credit and contact the author of the webpage tomorrow). I've now added a PDF map that'll be self explanatory.

That hill-bagging website is another good one, but again it's more than I want/need. I was just after a handy reference table as I'm strolling round the Highlands. I keep a working number of maps in my rucsac and post the others on to Poste Restante, so it helps me plan ahead. Job done, thought I might as well make it available to anybody else who wanted it.

The Hills Database download from the Database of British Hills seems to have all the info you need. Assuming you have access to Excel it just needs sorted for Corbetts and then the Name, Region and OS GR columns copied and Bob's yer Uncle.

You could do that for Grahams and lower Marilyns too.

Lists and guide books, by definition, send you to the same places as the others using those lists and guide books. It's best to try and stay away from all that nonsense.

Presumably you need your kindle list to know where to avoid
