Filters for Waypoints & Bagging Lists

Filters for Waypoints & Bagging Lists

 

There are far too many waypoints, trigpoints and hills in the database to display them all at once. So at least one filter must be used on any display.

There are a number of different ways of filtering the content available and some can be used in conjunction. (N.B. Some filter conjunctions will give a null result; e.g. there are no wainwrights in scotland or no Corbetts in Wales etc…)

Filtering by Area

Hills & Waypoints can be filtered by area.

Areas can be by country
e.g. www.haroldstreet.org.uk/waypoints/download/?area=england

by area number 1 to 57 (with sub-areas)
e.g. www.haroldstreet.org.uk/waypoints/download/?area=34

or by Ordnance Survey Grid Reference areas “HP” to “TV”
e.g. www.haroldstreet.org.uk/waypoints/download/?area=NY

the full list of “areas” available is given at;
www.haroldstreet.org.uk/waypoints/areas.php

In the left menu bar:

  • Area numbers in orange/red have similar hills  and clicking will take you to those hills in that area with the same filters applied.
  • Area numbers in grey have no hills of the same type, and so clicking will take you to ALL hills in those areas.

(Unfortunately only filtering by OS area is available to Trigpoints, unless they are also catagorised by a hill type.)

Filtering by Hill type

Most Waypoints and Hills can be filtered by their mountain list classifications. E.g.

Munros
www.haroldstreet.org.uk/waypoints/download/?list=munros

Wainwrights
www.haroldstreet.org.uk/waypoints/download/?list=wainwrights

Hewitts
www.haroldstreet.org.uk/waypoints/download/?list=hewitts

Nuttalls
www.haroldstreet.org.uk/waypoints/download/?list=nuttalls

Corbetts
www.haroldstreet.org.uk/waypoints/download/?list=corbetts

Trigpoints on Hills (but not all trigpoints, only those on significant hills)
www.haroldstreet.org.uk/waypoints/download/?list=trigpoints

For the full list of available types see…
www.haroldstreet.org.uk/waypoints/

Combining Hills from two different lists

A second hill type filter can be added (as “list2=“) to give the total listing of two types of hill; for example if you wanted to list all Munros with all Munro Tops then you would use the URL filter…
www.haroldstreet.org.uk/waypoints/download/?list=munros&list2=munro-tops

And if you use this in conjugation with display=onlyhillsinbothlists you can get a sub-set of hills which only belong to both lists – for example here are the Hewitts which are also Marilyns;
www.haroldstreet.org.uk/waypoints/download/?list=hewitts&list2=marilyns&display=onlyhillsinbothlists

or the “Marilyn Munros” (i.e. the Munros which also have Marilyn status of 150m seperation)
www.haroldstreet.org.uk/waypoints/download/?list=marilyns&list2=munros&display=onlyhillsinbothlists

Filtering by Bagged Status

If you are a member using the online tick lists you can use the “status=” URL filter show either all the hills you’ve climbed, or not climbed, in any particular list or area e.g.

Climbed Munros
www.haroldstreet.org.uk/waypoints/download/?list=munros&status=climbed

or Unclimbed Wainwrights
www.haroldstreet.org.uk/waypoints/download/?list=wainwrights&status=unclimbed

Filtering by Height

You can use the “height=” URL filter to filter hills by minimum height in meters. For example;

UK 1000m Mountains
www.haroldstreet.org.uk/waypoints/download/?height=1000

You can use this directly in combination with “max=” URL filter to narrow the filter to a maximum height in meters. For example;

“English Corbetts” (English Marilyns between 762m(2500ft) and 913m(2999ft))
www.haroldstreet.org.uk/waypoints/download/?list=marilyns&height=762&max=913&area=england

“Welsh Corbetts” (Welsh Marilyns between 762m(2500ft) and 913m(2999ft))
www.haroldstreet.org.uk/waypoints/download/?list=marilyns&height=762&max=913&area=wales

“Irish Corbetts” (Irish Marilyns between 762m(2500ft) and 913m(2999ft))
www.haroldstreet.org.uk/waypoints/download/?list=marilyns&height=762&max=913&area=ireland

Filtering by Prominence

It is also possible to filter by prominence (in meters) using “prominence=” For example;

The Really Big Hills of UK (P609m) a list of British and Irish hills with at least 2000 feet of prominence.
www.haroldstreet.org.uk/waypoints/download/?prominence=609

I quite like this one for demonstrating some really significant hills with 3000ft prominence
www.haroldstreet.org.uk/waypoints/download/?prominence=912

Find/Filter by Location

We’ve added a new “find by location” url filter to our Trigpoint & Hill pages.

For example the page…
www.haroldstreet.org.uk/waypoints/download/?g=NN1667671283

will look up the nearest hill (or failing that the nearest trigpoint) within a 20km square of the ten figure grid reference provided by the ?g= value (for searching six figure grid refs like AB123456 just add the extra 2 sets of 00′s like this ?g=AB1230045600

If you only want trigpoints then the same filter works on the trig-bagging pages like this…
www.haroldstreet.org.uk/trigpoints/trig-bagging.php?g=NN1667671283

Both pages will redirect to Ben Nevis which is a Hill and a trigpoint at NN1667671283

 

Many of these filters can be used in combination with each other.

Try them in combination here: Search with filters…

Happy bagging
