Really?????

There are people who are VERY interested in these things.  People who want
to know where
Munros, Donalds, Grahams, Marilyns, TuMPs, etc. are.  Full list of the
terms at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_mountains_and_hills_in_the_British_Isles

They don't interest me in the slightest, but somebody who is interested
them could set up
a uMap page with layers for each category.  Or even set up dedicated carto
or an overlay (as
used by OpenSeaMap).  Or a phone app that lets you search for
hills/mountains of a particular
type then shows them on a map.

Don't assume your own lack of interest means that nobody is interested.
You know from the
tags that at least one person is interested.  And from the wikipedia page
it looks like a lot
of people are interested.

I'm not overly happy with the profusion of tag names, and think they ought
to be namespaced,
but that is a different issue.
