Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I've done the proper thing and created feature requests: 1604 & 1605 if you want to express support or disagreement.

So far clicking on the notification for me has worked and taken me to that hill/trig, etc.

However, since it's been introduced I've never bagged more than one point on a single entry so don't know what would happen if I clicked then.

I’ve voted yes to both thanks flanker 👍

Second pic is from the map in training log rather than the actual activity trace

That’s interesting, when I clicked on it I just got the usual map centred on my home point. My run yesterday was 40 miles or so from home and not somewhere I normally go, so it was easy to identify the hill concerned based on it being the only green one in that vicinity.

I do wonder if this has changed as I don't recall this annoying me originally (and it would have). So maybe that's how it used to work and the current behaviour is a regression?

Noticed a marker in, what appears to be, the wrong location (No biggie and know I can manually claim it). Highlighting in case there are others or maybe a known issue.

I was looking at a route I'd cycled over at the weekend (have also walked to the actual summit this year) and noticed that it didn't show as a peak. On further digging though the marker showed up nested under the marker for an adjacent hill.

It's right according to this:

hill-bagging.co.uk

Looks like the other point is just about the same height, but there's observations about other points being as little as 5cm, 1.5m and 2.5m lower.

Fair enough - it was when both Ballencrieff Hill and Cairnpapple showed as almost the exact same location I guessed one might be incorrect, particularly when the map showed Cairnpapple just a few hundred metres North.

This suggests the two hills are often confused, either way, no biggie for me:-

Looks like one is a trig and one a hill. I'm not going to even second guess how the names are as they are there.
