Hi Tom, I've edited mountains all around Ireland, but from what I remember the Slieve Blooms had a few peaks in the wrong location, others would be around the Knockmealdown's and a few in other places as well (Wicklow, South Mayo, around Clonmel). Some of this is going back several years, so it's not easy to be specific, and once they were moved it's now hard to track which peaks differ. While I wouldn't always take the old OS maps as the only reference, in some places the MountainViews.ie peak was on a lower elevation than what the OS maps showed.
Sorry for the delay in replying, Hotmail has an annoying habit of putting these mails into the Junk folder.

Please let me know as soon as possible so that I can check them out at once and report back.
