You are welcome to participate in the Forum, to air your views and comments about any aspect of the Hardys.
All you need to do is e-mail me (see the Contact Page) with any comments on any aspects of the Hardys, and I will post them here, just adding your name and home area. Below are a few topics which you might find interesting - e-mail me about these, or about anything else which might be related to Hardys in any way at all: - Hill Range Inclusion Criteria: necessarily subjective, do you agree with the criteria I use in the book? - Inaccessible Hardys: do you know any "inaccessible" Hardys? - not the difficult to climb type (likeSgurr Alasdair!), but on "no entry" private land or the like, eg, from memory or visit notes: WIGHT, ISLE OF (radar station); LONDON, GREATER (property grounds); MYNYDD EPPYNT (unexploded devices!); MIDLANDS, WEST (comms tower) and HOLY ISLAND [LINDISFARNE] (castle wall on top of vertical rock face - which you could climb with pitons/ropes I guess?) - all of which could be accessed with permission (except for MYNYDD EPPYNT, this one just needs a penchant for taking risks!) - Your Local Hardy: what is your nearest Hardy? - Have you visited it? - Is it in good nick?! - Is it scenic? If it's an administrative area Hardy, why not tell the council about it - they could feature it in promotional literature etc as part of their leisure services remit. If there's a problem with it, and it's on a Right of Way, report it - to the council or the Ramblers. Do you lead walks, if so include it on one. Does it have any unusual features? - let us know. Keep an eye on it, enjoy it, look after it! - Resolving Hardy Queries: Annex N of the Book lists 7 Hardys (4 asterisked, 3 more in the notes), apart from the 7 urban Hardys, the location of which has not yet been finally resolved ( either more than one candidate, or difficult to examine the contours, in the case of LEWISHAM and SOUTHWARK). Can you help (stating how you did it!)? - Identifying Urban Hardys: any ideas how to identify the location of the High Points of BLACKPOOLand 6 inner London Boroughs (Hardys 336-342)? - or propose the locations and how you did it! The same applies to the newly identified Hardy, PORTSEA ISLAND - Multi-trig Summits: anybody know of another summit (a Hardy or otherwise) with more than one triangulation pillar on its summit area, apart from Ward's Stone (High Point of the Forest of Bowland)?
