Hill Bagging

Map hills and log your ascents using the official app of the Database of British and Irish Hills (DoBIH).

The Hill Bagging app is designed to be simple and fast for on-the-hill use, even when there is poor or no signal. With over two million hill ascents logged since our website launched in the mid 1990s, you can tap into starting points and waypoints for walks shared by our active community who share their routes for all the hills - including the less popular ones.

You can track your progress in climbing hills across over 70 hill lists including relative hill lists like the Marilyns, Humps and Tumps and classic lists like the Munros, Corbetts, Grahams, Wainwrights and Nuttalls plus the Significant Islands of Britain (SIBs).

Benefits of Hill Bagging app compared to our website: • Designed for on-the-hill use - app is designed to be simpler and quicker for using while walking • Offline use - hills can be logged when you have no, or poor signal • Speed - screens load straightaway since pages don’t need to be downloaded • Usability - quicker to plan and log ascents since designed for mobile • Permanent sign-in - Users stay signed-in each time app is loaded (can sign out)

About Hill Bagging CIC and the the Database of British and Irish Hills:

Hill Bagging is created by Hill Bagging CIC, a Community Interest Company (CIC) designed for not-for-profit social enterprises that aim to benefit the community. In line with these aims, access to the website and mobile apps is freely available to our community of registered users of the site who share their walk descriptions.

The Hill Bagging team manage the technology platform for the Database of British and Irish Hills which contains the most comprehensive and up-to-date list of hills in Britain and Ireland. DoBIH contributors and a team of editors use the Hill Bagging website to submit, edit and verify changes to hill heights and locations based on the latest surveying to ensure hill information is up-to-date. This website is the main online presence of the Database and an app is planned for release in 2026.
