The not so high places - Misplaced mountains

[Ent]

Hi

I might be wrong but I think I might have found a mistake on the the excellent list of Tassie mountains, the not so high list. Magog appears with long/lat near Maggs Mountain but the range is the Roland and the map Rowallan and the elevation is rather low if it is really near the stated location.

Cheers

You are right. Fixed this in my workbooks but not on the list you refer to. Try the link below. Hopefully it will open a dropbox folder containing a workbook (Excel 2003) called High Places of Tasmania v2-3.xls that has several useful lists and lets you track your peakbagging points etc. The coordinates get updated as our little band of walkers lug their GPS units up to new peaks. It's amazing how hard it is to get and keep lists like this accurate.

Let me know if the link works or not. If it does then I will add it to the appropriate threads in the wiki.

If you have any suggestions regarding this workbook then let me know.

Hi MJD

Impressive amount of work and much appreciated as I can only start to understand the amount of time involved constructing and maintaining it.

Yes, the classification of what gets points and what does not plus the amount of points allocated is a mystery to me as well. But, not being a peak bagger I will leave that to others to argue the logic, or more accurately the lack of it.

Anyway, a very handy tool and good luck to the luggers of GPS. Just make sure that you are using the averaging function to get the best accuracy. And much better than the commercial Garmin map data.

Thanks

Hi

Snooping around the Mount Field area and noticed in the list of High Places Lake Nicholls as a peak. Err, peak baggers bring your flippers. Ok, look like it is a high point above the lake. Looking at Tasmap it appears not to be named. Is it meant to have a name or just a nice high peak worthwhile climbing for the view that needs a name?

Cheers
