Peak bagging

Ben More (Walk 2.9)

This book has not been written to facilitate peak bagging. But, for the record, Mull has just one Munro (Ben More), one Corbett and seven Grahams. If you collect Marilyns, then you have 27 to contend with on Mull and the adjacent islands, only 11 of which are included in the book. Information about the mountains database as it concerns Mull is found at www.hills-database.co.uk.

 Based on a list originally published in 1891 by Sir Hugh Munro, Munros are Scottish hills that are at least 3000ft (914m) in height and considered to be distinct and separate mountains.

 Corbetts are the range of Scottish hills beneath Munros. They are between 2500 and 2999ft (762–914m) high with a drop of 500ft (150m) on all sides.

 Grahams are Scottish hills between 2000 and 2499ft (609–762m) high with a drop of 500ft (150m) on all sides.

 Marilyns are British hills of any height with a drop of at least 150m on all sides.

Distances

Distances are given in kilometres (and miles), and represent the total distance for the described walk, that is from the starting point to the finishing point. Where a walk continues from a previously described walk, the distance given is the total additional distance involved. When a walk is to a single summit, the distance assumes a retreat by the outward route.
