Hi there. Good to see some hiking stuff getting added around there. I was just wondering if we have any other sources which might help you. I think the out of copyright 7th series maps haven't been scanned yet for that area, but you can see the area on OS StreetView (also available as a 'Background' setting if you're editing the area in Potlatch 2) That suggests it's spelt "Bullochreg".

Thanks Harry for the correct spelling :) I didn't realise could use os streetview as a background option. tbh only background i tend to use is the cyclemap with contours, however it appears they aren't very accurate. Don't suppose you know the correct tag to use for Trigpoints? Best method i've found in combination of my phone phone storing co-ords of peaks from pics (or as waypoints) If someone wishes I'll upload pics of all the peaks that I've visited most 360 degree views :) I will be starting to track paths come decent weather this year to several munro/corbet/graham peaks and will be adding path/track condition/visibility data. http://www.npemap.org.uk/ is good source, however some details have changed, suh as correcting heights, and indeed in somecases... names have also changed, or locations, an example of this is Bishop's Seat in Dunoon, I'm hoping for those that use npemap that they remember to change the heights measured in feet ... to metres ;)

Consistency ftw.
The contours on OCM are pretty rough. They're taken from SRTM, which is decent enough for basic consumption, but of no real use for deriving stuff from. Unfortunately, it's the best free source out there for our neck of the woods. OS Landform Panorama may or may not give better resolution, but it's more-or-less abandoned.

Thanks srbrook and chriscf for info :) I'll try get around to adding trig points with there relevant id's over the next month or so.
