Hills Database Updated

We've just imported the latest version of the Database of British and Irish hills. We were previously on version 16.1 and we're now on 17.4 which was released on 14th July 2022. Our apologies that it's taken so long to get this release online but it was a big one.

Jessie taking a break having summitted Cat Bells

670 hills were added including 13 in the Lakes, and 13,582 hills were updated, mostly the positions of tops where a lot have moved by small distances and there's also a lot of more precise heights so if you want to see a list of all the changes, to names, summit feature, locations, and classifications it can be found here (big page, will take a while to load!).

You can also find a change log from the authors here.
