THE TWO-THOUSANDS OF WALES

By E. Moss.

(Rucksack Club Journal, 1940, Vol. ix, p.239).

In The Mountains of Snowdonia (p. 385) Carr and Lister published a table of the peaks of Snowdonia over two thousand feet in height. The table was based on a 100-ft. rise qualification, with some exceptions. The present list covers the whole of Wales and follows the lines of the list for England (excluding the Lake District) published last year (Rucksack Club Journal, 1939, Vol. ix, p.184). The definition is the same, namely, all tops of 2,000 feet or over marked by a separate contour ring on the one-inch Ordnance Survey Map, Popular Edition. Minor tops are again indicated by italics. Full details of the conventions used in the lists were given last year. Occasionally names and exact heights are given, which are not on the one-inch map, but will be found in The Mountains of Snowdonia or Carr's Climbers' Guide to Snowdon.

The number of two-thousands in Wales is 237, made up of 200 major and 37

minor tops. Two of the tops in the Black Mountains appear also in the list of English two-thousands, since they lie on the English-Welsh border. The grand total of two-thousands in England and Wales is, therefore, 612.
