mountain ratingsContext of comment:thinking about the walker damage section of the rating - would it be an idea to extend this to environmental damage more generally - on Truskmore today and it was like a building site at the top and came across discarded material from masts on way to Tievebaun. Not much evidence of walker damage so i ticked 'little walker damage' but didn't ring true for me.david bourke

GPSContext of comment:Updated mapping for Garmin GPS
Message:I had downloaded the contours maps last year from the Scottish Mountaineering Assoc.
Recentley I saw that there was an updated version available from the Emerald Isle site. It took a bit of working at but eventually I managed to download it and with Mapsource I uploaded the improved map of Ireland to my GPS Map 60CSX. It definetly is an improvement with the colour shading. Tried it out on the Glencoaghan Horseshoe yesterday and was delighted with the results. Well worth the effort but only effective if you own a colour version of the Garmin. Thanks.simon3

Scottish Mountain NamesContext of comment:For those interested in mountain names, be aware of the work of Drummond in Scotland who brought out a book on the subject. There are many connections between Irish mountain names and Scottish ones. Almost all Irish mountains were originally names in gaelic. Paul Tempan, frequent contributor to MV, has brought out a review of this book see More | Resources with references to common ancestry of names.
If you are interested in this piece of Irish hill and mountain culture you might also look at his earlier article on Irish Mountain Names and their International Links.simon3

Re County TopsContext of comment:County Top listing. Need for recognition.
Message:Take a look at http://www.simonstewart.ie/list/index.htm There is a list of county tops there with grid references.
Additional points:As always MV is improving its lists, currently in the direction of smaller relative hills. We will at some point add the county tops not already included.jimgraham

County TopsContext of comment:Thanks for an excellent site, very useful when preparing from a distance, Wales in my case. I have ascended all County Tops in Wales and many in England, and intend to do the same in Ireland and Scotland.
Message:I recognise they are not mountains, but it would be nice to recognise the six missing county tops in Ireland, somehow. Five are below 400m and one is a cairn with no relative height, i.e. Leitrim, which is problematic for the listings page.
Additional points:My information in this regard is from the Tacit Tables for Ireland, ISBN 0952268086. I have Cupidstown Hill in Kildare at 379m, Truskmore East Cairn in Leitrim at c630m, Corn Hill in Longford at 276m, Slieve na Colliagh in Meath at 276m, Slieve Beagh in Monaghan at c366m and Mullaghmeen in Westmeath at 258m.kaybee

White HillContext of comment:How does a summit qualify for entry to MV database?
Message:I was looking for some info on White Hill, 630mtr (Wicklow, beside Djouce) and was intrigued to find it's not listed. What is the criteria that a hill / mountain must fulfil before being listed in the MountainView database?simon3

New Menu Presentation SystemContext of comment:The main menu of the site has been much the same since, oh about 2004. The menu options available have developed and the format had a number of lacks such as it being possible to see quickly what options are available on the site.
Message:The revised menu using a commercial javascript menu bar has now been installed. Apart from being more modern looking, it's easier to review and choose options. It's also somewhat easier to make changes to.
Once bedded down we can restructure content more easily.
Additional points:The use of a commercial menu was intended to reduce the risk of browser incompatibility. If you observe that the menu does not work or not work under some circumstances please get in touch with group@mountainviews.iedjouce

Black Rock MountainContext of comment:Summits
Message:I climbed Black Rock mountain (599m) (Co Wexford) at S861 525 on Easter Monday.
It is a distinct summit and and I think it should be in MV. Comments from pdowd, mneary34 (with photo) and milo on Mount Leinster East Top seem to back this up.djouce
